| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: Obese people may have nutritional deficiencies, although they are exposed to excessive food intake. We aim to assess relationship of vitamin D, B12, and folic acid levels and dietary vitamin intake and insulin resistance in obese people. DESIGN: This case-control study was performed at the obesity outpatient clinics between March 2014 and April 2015. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We included 304 non-diabetic obese subjects in patient group and 150 normal weight individuals in control group. Patients were questioned in detail about their food intake. RESULTS: Mean age of obese patients was 37.3±10.1 years, the mean duration of obesity was 7.9±5.4 years, and the percentage of female patients was 65.8%. Mean vitamin D, B12, and folic acid levels were significantly lower in patients than in controls. Vitamin D deficiency ( |
