- Sufficient vitamin D levels in breast cancer patients were linked to better overall survival (HR 0.76), second primary cancer-free survival (HR 0.75), and disease-free survival (HR 0.82).
- Associations were stronger in patients with stage ≥II disease.
- Sufficient vitamin D levels were associated with lower risks of cardiometabolic risk factors, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, with suggestive lower hazards of cardiovascular disease.
- No significant association was found between vitamin D sufficiency and cardiovascular disease-related death.
- Study suggests routine screening for vitamin D deficiency and supplementation may improve cancer prognosis and cardiometabolic health in breast cancer patients.
