Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D and kidney stone disease (KSD) in participants from the UK Biobank.MethodsWe used data from the UK Biobank. Our analysis involved Cox proportional hazards models to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to estimate the association between serum 25(OH)D levels (measured at the time of recruitment) and the risk of KSD, which was determined using hospital records.ResultsThis study involved 444,343 participants, with 4,458 cases of KSD identified during an average follow-up period of 12.6 years. Higher 25(OH)D levels were not associated with developing kidney stones in general population model 3 (HR = 0.88 [95% CI 0.77-1.01]). Interestingly, higher serum 25(OH)D concentrations in women over 60 years old were associated with a lower risk of kidney stone disease. The multivariate HRs and 95% CIs for participants who had serum 25(OH)D ≥ 50 nmol/L or ≥ 75 nmol/L, compared with those who were severely deficient (25[OH]D < 25 nmol/L), were 0.74 (0.58-0.95), 0.60 (0.43-0.85) for KSD, respectively (P for trend < 0.01). However, this trend was not statistically significant in the subgroup analysis of serum calcium ion concentration.ConclusionHigh 25(OH)D levels were not associated with a higher incidence of kidney stones if serum calcium levels are within a normal range. The findings alleviate physiological concerns regarding the supplementation of vitamin D alone to raise serum 25(OH)D concentration.</p>
