25 Hydroxyvitamin D Levels Are Negatively And Independently Associated With Fat Mass In A Cohort Of Healthy Overweight And Obese Subjects.

CONCLUSION: This study clearly shows that vitamin D circulating levels are progressively lower with the increase of fat mass, independently of sex, body fat distribution, blood pressure and insulin and metabolic parameters. These data strongly show that adipose tissue accumulation per se is absolutely the main responsible factor for lower vitamin D levels in obese subjects, possibly through sequestration of fat soluble vitamin D in fat mass.
