The aim of this study was to examine whether 25(OH)D and PTH concentrations are independently associated with overall and disease-specific (cardiovascular and cancer-related) mortality in a large, prospective population-based cohort of older adults. Data from 1317 men and women (65–85 years) of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam were used. Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to examine whether 25(OH)D and PTH at baseline were associated with overall mortality (with a follow-up of 18 years) and disease-specific mortality (with a follow-up of 13 years). Compared to persons in the reference category of =75 nmol/L, persons with serum 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L (HR 1.46; 95% CI: 1.12–1.91) and 25–49.9 nmol/L (HR 1.24; 95% CI: 1.01–1.53) had a significantly higher risk of overall mortality, as well as men with baseline PTH concentrations =7 pmol/L (HR 2.54 (95% CI: 1.58–4.08)), compared to the reference category of <2.33 pmol/L. The relationship of 25(OH)D with overall mortality was partly mediated by PTH. Furthermore, men with PTH concentrations of =7 pmol/L (HR 3.22; 95% CI: 1.40–7.42) had a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality, compared to the reference category. No significant associations of 25(OH)D or PTH with cancer-related mortality were observed. Both 25(OH)D and PTH should be considered as important health markers.
