Vitamin D status in young Swedish women with anorexia nervosa during intensive weight gain therapy

Conclusions Serum 25(OH)D levels were adequate both at study start and completion, however, nominally decreased after the 12-week nutritional intervention. PTH increased subsequently, which coincide with the decreased 25(OH)D levels. The reduction in 25(OH)D could be due to an increased storage of vitamin D related to the increase in fat mass since vitamin D is sequestered in adipose tissue.
