Obesity, vitamin D status and physical activity: 1,25(OH)2D as a potential marker of vitamin D deficiency in obese subjects.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that physical activity and BMI had a significant effect on the metabolism of bone and vitamin D, but the effect of BMI was different in underweight, normal weight or obese subjects. In obesity the real vitamin D deficiency could be estimate by serum 1,25(OH)2D concentrations whose lower levels contribute to the higher PTH production and consequently to bone loss and to a greater fracture risk.
