Both men and women within the highest tertile of potassium intake had a lower risk of CVD events compared with those within the lowest tertile of potassium intake, but the HR associated with high potassium intake was lower in women than in men (fully adjusted model: men: HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87–1.00; women: HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.83–0.95).

Monthly supplementation of 100,000 IU of cholecalciferol was associated with a 2-fold increase in vitamin D levels, from 17 ± 5 ng/mL to 35 ± 7 ng/mL (p < 0.0001) after 12 weeks. Serum levels of log transformed flOPN were significantly reduced (p=0.03) and log FGF-23 was increased in the treated group (p = 0.04).
