We studied the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and obesity among children and adolescents.
The concentration of serum 25(OH)D in the obese group was significantly lower than that of the non-obese group.
The concentration of TC, INS and HOMA-IR reflected differences in various concentration of 25(OH)D.
Children and adolescents suffering from obesity are more likely to have lower concentrations of serum 25(OH)D.
