Popis: Vitamin D deficiency probably takes a part in the development of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance also markedly affects the obese population. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is a sensitive marker of subclinical inflammation and strongly predicts increased risks of insulin resistance. In this study, 123 obese persons were selected, and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) was measured in them. Serum Vitamin D and hsCRP were also measured in all participants. Among participants with HOMA-IR >2.7, significantly higher BMI, serum hsCRP and lower vitamin D were observed; Keywords: Obesity, BMI, HOMA-IR, Vitamin D, hsCRP.
