We read with interest the recent article by Reis et al. (1), who concluded that neither parathyroid hormone (PTH) nor 25-hydroxyvitamin-D [25(OH)D] level predicts any of the three biochemical components (hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL cholesterol) of metabolic syndrome. Since 25(OH)D and PTH may play a role in the etiology of metabolic syndrome, we retrospectively analyzed associations between results of PTH, 25(OH)D, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol tests, which were performed on an entire cohort of outpatients aged >35 years who were consecutively referred to our clinical laboratory by general practitioners for routine blood testing over the past 2 years.Venous blood …
