High blood pressure (BP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Examining the role of inflammatory mediators on BP is important since vitamin D (VD) is a modifiable risk factor, which possibly modulates inflammatory cytokines. This study simulated what are known as average 'controlled direct effects (CDE)' of inflammatory markers, C reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interlukin-6 (IL-6) on continuous BP measures, while fixing VD, an intermediate variable to specific level. Cross-sectional study. We analysed data from the Mul
