Abstract
According to the US Endocrinology Society, vitamin D deficiency is defined as a 25(OH)D level of ≤ 20 ng/mL; insufficiency as 21 to 29 ng/mL; and sufficiency as > 30 ng/mL or more [15]. With few exceptions, these studies neither clearly support nor exclude the causal association of 25(OH)D levels with T2D [11, 29,30,31]. [...]these studies have examined mainly individuals from European populations, except one recent study included East Asians with Europeans [31]. [...]in this study, we, for the first time, have included data from South Asian Indians with Europeans. Research design and methods Ethical statement All participating studies were reviewed and approved by the respective Universities or Institutional Review Boards, including the primary institute of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center’s Institutional Review Board, as well as the Human Subject Protection Committees at the participating hospitals and institutes in India.
