Abstract:

Vitamin D deficiency, as measured by 25-hydroxyvitamin D, has been related to obesity and impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG), but the causality is unclear. Obesity-related consequences, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and death, have been associated with low vitamin D in adults. However, it is unclear whether vitamin D plays a direct role in glucose metabolism or if there is an association without direct causality (1). This article is protected by copyright.
