Methods: Leveraging data from the UK Biobank, encompassing 445,493 individuals aged 40-69, we examined associations of high 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) levels ≥ 100 nmol/L and vitamin D supplementation with hypercalcemia (serum calcium > 2.6 mmol/L), kidney stones, and atherosclerosis assessments (pulse wave arterial stiffness index and carotid intima-medial thickness). Regression models were comprehensively adjusted for 49 covariates. Results: Approximately $1.5\%$ of the participants had high 25(OH)D levels, $4.3\%$ regularly used vitamin D supplements, and $20.4\%$ reported regular multivitamin use. At baseline, the hypercalcemia prevalence was $1.6\%,$ and $1.1\%$ was diagnosed with kidney stones during follow-up. High 25(OH)D levels were neither associated with calcium-related adverse events nor atherosclerosis assessments. Vitamin D and multivitamin supplementation were associated with an increased prevalence of hypercalcemia (odds ratios and $95\%$ confidence intervals: 1.46 [1.32-1.62] and 1.11 [1.04-1.18], respectively) but were neither associated with atherosclerosis nor future kidney stones. Conclusions: High 25(OH)D levels observable in routine care were not associated with any adverse outcome. Vitamin D users have a slightly higher prevalence of hypercalcemia, possibly due to co-supplementation with calcium, but without a higher atherosclerosis prevalence or risk of kidney stones.}, keywords = {Humans / Hypercalcemia: epidemiology / Hypercalcemia: chemically induced / Vitamin D: analogs $\&$ derivatives / Vitamin D: blood / Vitamin D: administration $\&$ dosage / Middle Aged / Male / Female / Dietary Supplements: adverse effects / United Kingdom: epidemiology / Kidney Calculi: epidemiology / Kidney Calculi: blood / Aged / Atherosclerosis: epidemiology / Atherosclerosis: etiology / Adult / Prevalence / Biological Specimen Banks / Risk Factors / Calcium: blood / Calcium: administration $\&$ dosage / UK Biobank / adverse events (Other) / atherosclerosis (Other) / hypercalcemia (Other) / kidney stone risk (Other) / real-world evidence (Other) / serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (Other) / vitamin D supplementation (Other) / Vitamin D (NLM Chemicals) / 25-hydroxyvitamin D (NLM Chemicals) / Calcium (NLM Chemicals)}, cin = {C070 / C120 / HD01}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-He78)C070-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)C120-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)HD01-20160331}, pnm = {313 - Krebsrisikofaktoren und Prävention (POF4-313)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-313}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:39064694}, pmc = {pmc:PMC11279740}, doi = {10.3390/nu16142251}, url = {https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/291917}, }
