Relationship between vitamin D and body fat distribution evaluated by DXA in postmenopausal women

Relationship between vitamin D and body fat distribution evaluated by DXA in postmenopausal women

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) serum concentrations and body fat distribution in a sample of postmenopausal women. Methods We enrolled sixty-two postmenopausal women; 25(OH)D serum concentrations, serum intact parathyroi...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) serum concentrations and body fat distribution in a sample of postmenopausal women. Methods We enrolled sixty-two postmenopausal women; 25(OH)D serum concentrations, serum intact parathyroid hormone, blood analyses, and anthropometric measurements were carried out. Body fat composition was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Insulin resistance was estimated by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) calculation. Results Low levels of vitamin D (
