Previous observational studies have suggested that low vitamin D status is associated with high circulating C-reactive protein levels, as well as other plasma inflammatory cytokines. However, there is no study to explore the relationship between vitamin D status and Lp-PLA2, a new biomarker of vascular-specific inflammation. The aim of this study was to examine the association between vitamin D status and circulating Lp-PLA2 levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. ⋯ From this cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes, regardless of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, we observed a statistically significant inverse relation between Lp-PLA2 and 25(OH)D at levels <30ng/mL.
