The dose–response analysis between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D] levels and hypertension risk with restricted cubic splines in a multivariate random-effects dose–response model in cross-sectional studies. The solid line and the long dash line represent the estimated relative risk and its 95 % confidence interval. Short dash line represents the linear relationship
