Core Tip
Core Tip: Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is associated with various adverse health outcomes and is significantly associated with lipid metabolism. This study is the first to explore the relationship between VitD and apolipoprotein A1 in young-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, emphasizing their potential effects and mechanisms, and underscore the necessity for further investigation into the impact of targeted interventions, such as VitD supplementation, on metabolic parameters especially in patients with young-onset T2DM.
