Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is reported. Abbreviations: FSIGT, frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test; AA, African American; EA, European American; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; S_I, insulin sensitivity index. Statistical analyses were performed on log₁₀-transformed data for S_I, vitamin D, calcium, HOMA-IR, fasting glucose, and fasting insulin.
