Objective: To evaluate the effect of vitamin D 3 on blood pressure in people with vitamin D deficiency. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were electronically searched databases including CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMbase which were about oral vitamin D 3 among people with vitamin D deficiency from inception to December 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and extracted data; meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.3. Results: A total of 17 RCTs with 22 arms involving 1687 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, there were no significant differences between the vitamin D deficiency group and the control group on the level of change in systolic pressure (ΔSBP) [weighted mean difference (WMD) = −1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−3.93,0.04) P = .06] and on the level of change in diastolic pressure (ΔDBP) [WMD = −0.50, 95% CI (−1.17, 0.17) P = .14]. The results of subgroups showed that, there were statistically significant differences in the age of >50 years subgroup on ΔSBP [WMD = −2.32, 95% CI (−4.39, −0.25) P = .03]; there were statistically significant differences in the hypertension subgroup on ΔSBP [WMD = −6.58, 95% CI (−8.72, −4.44) P <.00001]; there were statistically significant differences in the hypertension subgroup on ΔDBP [WMD = −3.07, 95% CI (−4.66, −1.48) P = .0002]; there were statistically significant differences in the body mass index (BMI) >30 subgroup on ΔSBP [WMD = −3.51, 95% CI (−5.96, −1.07) P = .005]. Conclusion: Oral vitamin D 3 has no significant effect on blood pressure in people with vitamin D deficiency. It reduces systolic blood pressure in people with vitamin D deficiency that was older than 50 years old or obese. It reduces systolic blood pressure and diastolic pressure in people with both vitamin D deficiency and hypertension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
