However, their combined effect in patients with HUA has not been well characterized. This study aimed to investigate the association between circulating vitamin D levels and CVD in patients with HUA, examine whether vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is associated with increased CVD prevalence, and determine the correlation between low vitamin D levels and CVD severity. The study employed a cross-sectional design and included clinical data of 483 patients with HUA admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between 01\/09\/2023 and 01\/11\/2024. According to the criteria by the National Academy of Medical Sciences, participants were stratified into three groups based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations: VDD group (&lt; 12\u2009ng\/mL, n\u2009=\u2009150), vitamin D insufficiency group (12\u2009ng\/mL\u2009\u2264\u200925(OH)D\u2009&lt;\u200920\u2009ng\/mL, n\u2009=\u2009226), and vitamin D sufficiency group (\u2265 20\u2009ng\/mL, n\u2009=\u2009107). CVD prevalence was higher in the VDD group than in the vitamin D sufficiency group (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), and the Gensini score\u2014which reflects the degree of coronary stenosis\u2014was higher in the VDD group than in the vitamin D sufficiency group (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Spearman\u2019s rank correlation analysis showed that 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with glycated hemoglobin (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.154,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.004), total cholesterol (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.181,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), triacylglycerol (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.202,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and Gensini score (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.27,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.002). Logistic regression identified vitamin D (odds ratio [OR] = 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.90\u20130.97],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001) and age (OR = 1.06, 95% CI [1.03\u20131.09],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01) as influential factors for CVD. Among patients with HUA, those with VDD exhibited a higher CVD prevalence and greater coronary artery stenosis compared to those with sufficient vitamin D levels. Vitamin D status was independently associated with a reduced risk of CVD, while age with an increased risk of CVD, in patients with HUA.\n
