Background: Morbid obesity is associated with low circulating concentrations of 25-
hydroxyvitamin D. Few data on the concentrations of other vitamins in morbidly obese …

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between obesity and vitamin D status
cross-sectionally, the relationship between obesity and the incidence of hypovitaminosis D …

Previous studies demonstrated decreases in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in obese subjects.
Studies were carried out to determine whether serum vitamin D is low in obesity. The results …

Lower vitamin D in obese people is a consistent finding across age, ethnicity, and
geography. This may not always reflect a clinical problem. Obese people need higher …

Results: The male (n= 690) and female (n= 1336) patients had a mean (sd) age of 45.0
(12.1) years and 42.2 (12.2) years (P< 0.001), body mass index (BMI) of 44.6 (6.0) kg/m 2 …

Obesity is associated with low concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D]. However,
conflicting results have been found regarding the relationship of 25 (OH) D with …

Purpose The serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) levels are lower in obese than lean
subjects. The present study examines the cross-sectional and longitudinal relations between …

Vitamin D status is known to be poor in obese individuals; there is no consensus as to the
reason. Cross‐sectional study of the relation between serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) …

Low circulating concentrations of vitamin D metabolites have been associated with
increased risk for several diseases and clinical conditions. Large observational studies and …

Background Vitamin D concentrations are linked to body composition indices, particularly
body fat mass. Relationships between hypovitaminosis D and obesity, described by both …
