Correlation between vitamin D metabolic pathway-related gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular disease.

Vitamin D plays important roles in various physiological processes such as cardiovascular health, calcium balance regulation, bone health, immune system support, neurological function regulation, muscle function maintenance, and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, maintaining its adequate levels is essential for overall health. Genetic polymorphisms in vitamin D metabolic pathways have become a key factor affecting the susceptibility and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
