The study revealed that “more than 65% of women had hypovitaminosis D – considered to be a serum 25(OH)D level under 30 ng/mL – which was associated with higher odds of having a blood glucose level of 100 mg/dL or higher (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.05-1.57, P=0.015).” The findings of the 680-woman study were published online in the journal Menopause.
