Data on 4,948 adults aged ≥20 years from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V-3 (2012) were analyzed. After adjusting for the related variables (except age), the odds ratios (ORs) of vitamin D deficiency with the normal group as a reference were significantly higher in the decreased eGFR plus elevated uACR group [3.

- The study analyzed the link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and insulin resistance/beta cell function in Korean adults, using data from the 2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
- In individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), higher insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was found in those with CKD, while beta cell function (HOMA-B) showed no significant difference.
- In non-T2DM adults, both insulin resistance and beta cell function were initially not associated with CKD but became significant when age was accounted for, indicating a positive association between insulin resistance and CKD overall.
This study assessed the association between gender difference with metabolic syndrome (MetS), metabolic syndrome score (MSS) and serum vitamin D levels in Korean adults. Analyses were restricted to 5147 adults (2162 men; 2985 women) aged 20 and older, using the 2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. In the non-adjusted model, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were inversely associated with MetS (p = .

Methods: This study included 410 adults (235 males, 175 females) who were over 30 years old and had undergone a health check from July to December in 2013.
Results: The incidence of high sIAD and metabolic syndrome were 23.
The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome score (MSS) and serum vitamin D levels in adults aged 20 or older (n = 5,483) using 2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, which represents national data in Korea. Key study results were as follows: First, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels decreased significantly with an increase in MSS (p = 0.004), shown by serum 25(OH)D levels after adjusting the variables (age, gender, BMI, TC, HDL-C, FBS, SBP, and DBP, etc.
