Vitamin D deficiency is a well-established risk factor for bone disease, but emerging data suggest that altered vitamin D homeostasis may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dyslipidemia hypertension, and other cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with T2DM with/without CVD, to correlate it with anthropometric and metabolic parameters and to determine the predictors of vitamin D deficiency.
