Background: A suboptimal vitamin D and calcium status has been associated with higher
risk of type 2 diabetes in observational studies, but evidence from trials is lacking. Objective …

Hypertension is a major risk factor for a number of cardiovascular diseases. Proper
management of hypertension may require both pharmacological and non-pharmacological …

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a significant global health care problem, and pharmacotherapies
