Researchers from Bushehr University of Medical Sciences in southern Iran have conducted a study to evaluate the association between vitamin D levels and cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as total and regional obesity, in older adults. The study included 1991 participants and found that 38.5% of them had vitamin D deficiency. The results showed an inverse association between vitamin D and body mass index, waist circumference, total fat, android fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, trunk fat, arm fat, high systolic blood pressure, high total cholesterol, high LDL-cholesterol, high serum triglycerides, and high fasting glucose. Higher vitamin D concentrations were also found to decrease the risk of dyslipidemia. This research provides evidence of the significant association between serum vitamin D and various cardiometabolic risk factors and obesity. [Extracted from the article] |
