Low calcidiol levels were independently associated with a higher risk for developing CAC. for developing incident CAC, but for each 10 ng/ml lower calcidiol level, the risk was 1.23 (95% CI 1.00 to 1.52; P � 0.049). the effect of low calcidiol levels and risk for CAC also did not	./cache/work_kxex7ijttfhj5hjgd7qj4g3oku.pdf	./txt/work_kxex7ijttfhj5hjgd7qj4g3oku.txt
