Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and prostate-specific antigen: a retrospective study in men without prostate pathology

Abstract

Recently, vitamin D status has been associated with prostate cancer risk. However, some studies argue that there is no association of vitamin D with prostate cancer risk and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations. No clear conclusions can be drawn from the studies found in the literature. Our aim was to assess the relationship between PSA and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D].
