We measured 25-hydroxyvitamin levels all during same season rule out seasonal variation level. Serum defined as level below 20 ng/mL. had tendency increase risk although borderline significance [odds ratio (OR) = 3.59; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.95-13.58; P .060]. It significantly associated greater (OR 3.61; 95%CI 1.04-12.51; .043). Among those present OCT images showed than controls 7.54; CI 1.34-42.51). However, there no significant without 1.89; 0.40-8.92). may Koreans, also be population.
