Gender-dependent association of vitamin D deficiency with obesity and hypercholesterolemia (LDLC) in adults.

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D deficiency was associated with both severe obesity and with underweight, in the former it was likely to be institutional while in the latter it was likely to be nutritional. Furthermore, hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C) was associated with 25OHD3 sub-normality. Further analysis revealed that the significant associations were gender dependent.
