Popis: Summary Context Both obesity (body mass index, BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and Black race are associated with a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism. We hypothesized the risk of hypovitaminosis D would therefore be extraordinarily high in obese Black adults. Objective To study the effects of race and adiposity on 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and parathyroid hormone (iPTH). Design, Setting and Participants Cross-sectional study of 379 Black and White adults from the Washington D.C. area. BMI ranged from 19·9 to 58·2 kg/m2. Main Outcome Measures Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D [25(OH)D 4·2 pmol/l]. Results Obese Black subjects had lower mean 25(OH)D, 40·3 (SD, 20·3) nmol/l, compared with obese Whites, 64·5 (29·7), P
