Abstract
Background: Vitamin D deficiency, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation are recognized contributors to coronary artery disease (CAD), so the aim of this study was to assess association of serum vitamin D (25(OH)D), traditional and nontraditional lipid indices, and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with CAD risk and severity, and to evaluate their predictive value using the Gensini score. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 55 CAD patients (group I) and 55 age- and sex-matched individuals (group II). lipid profiles, NLR, and serum 25(OH)D levels were measured. Nontraditional lipid indices, including Castelli’s Risk Indices and atherogenic coefficient were calculated. The severity of CAD was assessed using the Gensini score. Results: CAD patients had significantly lower 25(OH)D and higher NLR, lipid levels, and nontraditional lipid indices than controls (p < 0.05). 25(OH)D deficient CAD patients (
