Low serum vitamin D level is associated with both high blood pressure and incidence of primary hypertension. Experimental studies suggest that vitamin D supplements may reduce blood pressure.The aim of this study was to investigate whether vitamin D supplementation reduces systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in Iranian patients with essential hypertension.A total of 173 patients with essential hypertension participated in this open-label clinical trial. SBP, DBP, and serum vitamin D levels were measured at baseline and at the end of the study. Vitamin D was administered at a dose of 50,000 IU/week, and 1000 IU/day in patients with serum vitamin D levels20 ng/mL and 20-30 ng/mL, respectively, for 8 weeks.Based on serum vitamin D levels, 45.1%, 17.3%, and 29.5% of patients were deficient, insufficient, and sufficient for vitamin D intake, respectively. Baseline serum levels of vitamin D were not correlated with SBP, DBP, and MAP at the beginning of the study (p = ns). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of vitamin D deficiency was 2.5-fold times higher in women than in men (p = 0.03). After 8 weeks of supplementation with vitamin D, mean SBP and MAP were significantly reduced by 5.5 ± 16.16 (p = 0.01) and 3.7 ± 9.24 (p = 0.004) mmHg, respectively. Neither sex nor age could significantly predict BP response to vitamin D supplementation.Vitamin D supplementation may significantly reduce SBP and MAP but not DBP in patients with essential hypertension.
