Cross-sectional analysis of data from 'the B-PROOF study' (B-vitamins for the Prevention Of Osteoporotic Fractures).

BMI and fat percentage, measured by Dual Energy X-ray, and serum 25(OH)D levels.
Mean age was 74 years (6.5 SD), with 50% women. Mean serum 25(OH)D levels were 55.8 nmol/L (25 SD). BMI and total body fat percentage were significant inversely associated with serum 25(OH)D levels after adjustment for confouders (β-0.93; 95% CI [-1.15; -0.71], p |
