Association between blood cadmium and vitamin D levels in the Yangtze Plain of China in the context of rapid urbanization.

CONCLUSIONS: BCL in Chinese residents in the Yangtze Plain were much higher than that in developed countries. An inverse association between BCL and 25(OH)D was found in general Chinese women after multivariable adjustment. Future prospective cohort and animal studies are warranted to resolve the direction and temporality of these relationships, and to elucidate the exact mechanisms involved.
