Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of carotid intima thickness with vitamin D, glycemia and anthropometry. Personal, anthropometric and biochemical data, and carotid ultrasound report (to check thickening in millimeters and for the presence of atherosclerotic plaques) were collected. The variables studied were treated with Pearson’s correlation coefficient, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis. The mean BMI of the 51 patients was 29.47 ± 6.39kg/m². The carotid thickness was ≥1mm in 54.90%. Regarding vitamin D, 41.18% had hypovitaminosis. The carotid thickness was directly proportionally correlated with anthropometric data, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c, and inversely correlated with vitamin D values, although without significant difference. The studied variables were not significantly associated with carotid intima thickness in this sample.
