The aim of this study was to determine  the exact association between 25(OH) D and small vessel disease (SVD)  in China.

Whether the effect of 25(OH)D on SVD could be modified by the history of hypertension needs to be further elucidated in China. We hypothesized there might be some relationships between 25(OH)D deficiency and the occurrence of SVD in China.

We retrospectively enrolled 106 patients with SVD and 115 controls between Jan and Dec 2017. They were categorized into three subgroups according to the level of 25 (OH) D: vitamin D deficiency (< 12 ng/ml), insufficiency (12-20 ng/ml) and sufficiency (> 20 ng/ml).
Among 106 SVD patients, 80 (75.5%) were men and the mean age was 61.6 ± 13.2 years. The deficiency of 25(OH) D was observed in 76 (71.7%) of SVD patients and 47 (40.9%) of controls (P = 0.001). Compared with controls, patients with SVD were more likely to be male, a stroke history, smokers, with hyperlipidemia, higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein, and lower of 25(OH)D level (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed the level of 25 (OH) D as an independent predictor of SVD (OR 0.772, 95% CI 0.691-0.862, P = 0.001). Compared with the sufficient 25 (OH) D group, the ORs of SVD in deficient and insufficient 25(OH)D group were 5.609 (95% CI 2.006-15.683) and 1.077 (95% CI: 0.338-3.428) after adjusting for potential confounders, respectively. In hypertensives with vitamin D deficient and insufficient group compared with sufficient group, the ORs of SVD increased to 9.738 (95% CI 2.398-39.540) and 1.108 (95% CI 0.232-5.280), respectively (Pinteraction = 0.001).
We found significant associations between SVD and 25(OH)D deficiency. The combined presence of hypertension and vitamin D deficiency increased the probability of developing SVD. Our findings will warrant further prospective studies in the future.
