Background We examined the relationship between 10-year predicted atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score and 25-hydroxyvitamin D in Koreans aged 40–79 years.
Methods A population-based, cross-sectional design was used from data based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014.
Results A total of 1,134 healthy Koreans aged 40–79 years were included. A positive relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and ASCVD score was shown in women (β=0.015) after adjusting for central obesity, physical activity, and supplement intake. The chances of being in the moderate to high risk (risk group, ASCVD score ≥5%) with vitamin D sufficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D ≥20 ng/mL) was 1.267-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.039–1.595) greater than the chance of being included in the group with vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D <20 ng/mL) after adjustments in women.
Conclusion Our research indicated a significantly positive association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and ASCVD score. Further detailed studies to evaluate this correlation are needed.

Aspirin is well known for its central role in preventing cardio cerebrovascular diseases as an antiplatelet agent. However besides its favorable effects, one must also be fully aware of its side effects such as gastrointestinal complications or cerebral hemorrhage. Particularly when prescribing to Koreans, one must be highly cautious, considering the higher prevalence of helicobacter pylori infection and the contribution of hemorrhagic stroke as a major part of cerebral disease in Korean. Currently the guideline for secondary prevention of cardio cerebrovascular diseases is relatively well established, while the consensus for primary prevention is still controversial. The purpose of this paper would be to summarize the evidence of aspirin usage in preventing cardio cerebrovascular diseases, examine the additional factors one must consider, and help primary physician prescribing aspirin appropriately.
