- Abstract:
- Background: This study aimed to determine the relationship between vitamin D levels and body mass index (BMI) values in a group of Iranian people. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the anthropometric values and serum vitamin D levels were measured in more than 3500 healthy adults, representing a random sample of the Iranian population in the urban areas of five large cities of Iran. The data used in this study were from the database of the Iranian Multi-centric Osteoporosis Studies (IMOS), previously conducted to assess bone health in the country. The association between BMI values and serum level of 25(OH)D was thereafter calculated. Results: About 46% of the studied 3669 subjects had moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency regardless of their gender. About 43.2% of the overweight individuals and 45.2% of the obese had moderate-to-severe vitamin D
