Outline of Final Research Achievements

Vitamin D is a current topic worldwide in terms of the prevention of age- and lifestyle-related diseases. The aim of this study was to set up a large-scale cohort study on vitamin D by determining blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in a sub-cohort of the Murakami Cohort Study. In addition, we tried to clarify epidemiologic profiles of the cohort. We have established the vitamin D cohort with 8,498 subjects, and identified correlates of blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
