Genome-wide analyses were performed within each cohort according to a uniform analysis plan. We fit additive genetic models using linear regression on natural-log transformed 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and adjusted the models for month of sample collection (12 categories), age, sex, and body mass index, and principal components capturing genetic ancestry. Further adjustments included cohort-specific variables, such as geographical location and assay batch, where relevant. For participating studies with a case-control design, we analyzed cases and controls separately. We performed a fixed-effects inverse variance weighted meta-analysis across the contributing cohorts, as implemented in the software METAL26 (link), with control for population structure within each cohort and quality control thresholds of minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05, imputation info score > 0.8, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) > 1×10−6, and a minimum of two studies and 10,000 individuals contributing to each reported SNP-phenotype association. We regarded P-values < 5×10−8 as genome-wide significant.

Baseline blood samples were frozen at −80°C and stored for later analysis. 25(OH)D, serum calcium, albumin, and levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured in the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) clinical laboratories. 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 levels were measured by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS), with interassay coefficients of variation (CVs) of 9.1% for 25(OH)D2 and 8.6% for 25(OH)D3. Total 25(OH)D level was calculated as the sum of 25(OH)D2 level and 25(OH)D3 level. Intact PTH was measured by electrochemiluminescense immunoassay on the Cobas E160 automated analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA). The interassay CV for intact PTH measurement was 4.2%. Calcium and albumin levels were measured by dye-based photometric assays on an automated analyzer.
DBP was measured in duplicate by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Cat. No. DVDBP0, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The assay was conducted after diluting serum samples 1:2000 in Calibrator Diluent RD6-11 (Part No. 895489, R&D Systems). The interassay CV was 8.5% at a concentration of 40 µg/mL. The assay recovered between 93% and 110% of a 100- to 200-µg/mL dose of exogenous DBP added to human serum samples containing between 25 and 200 µg/mL of endogenous DBP. The manufacturer reports no significant cross-reactivity with human albumin, vitamin D3, or α-fetoprotein.

All subjects had a single blood sample taken in the morning. Blood sampling was carried out in one day in August 2021 between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. from the cubital vein by an experienced technician. All athletes were instructed to rest on the day prior to blood sampling and refrain from alcohol consumption. Analysis of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHVITD) in the blood were performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS) on an Agilent 1200 liquid chromatography (Agilent, USA) combined with an AB Sciex 3200 MD mass detector (Sciex, USA). 25 (OH) D concentration was measured using total 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25-OHVITD), which is currently considered the most appropriate to reflect vitamin D stores in the body [39 (link), 40 (link)]. Vitamin D bio-chemical marker 25 (OH) D values above 30 ng/ml were considered normal, 20-30 ng/ml were considered insufficient, and below 20 ng/ml were considered deficient [14 (link)]. Analysis of total testosterone in the blood were performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS) on an Agilent 1200 liquid chromatography (Agilent, USA) combined with an AB Sciex 3200 MD mass detector (Sciex, USA). The separation of substances was conducted in a gradient mode, where an acetate buffer was used during the aqueous phase, and methanol was utilized during the organic phase. A reverse-phase column (Phenomenex, USA) was used during the stationary phase. All reagents used were labeled no lower than HPLC-grad, considering the standards for substances produced by TRC (Canada). These procedures have been previously validated and are based on published guidelines for obtaining the most valid, reliable and accurate testosterone values [41 , 42 ].
