Correlation of Triglyceride/HDL-Cholesterol Ratio and Visceral Adiposity Index with 25(OH)D in Obese Female

Obesity is a condition of excess body fat mass with cardiometabolic complications. The levels serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) decrease in obesity because it stored adipose tissue compartments and related to dyslipidemia conditions. A high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio dyslipidemia. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) one the parameters indicating central visceral distribution This study aimed prove correlation between TG/HDL-C VAI 25(OH)D obese females. Observational cross-sectional design 66 female patients. HDL-C examinations triglyceride using enzymatic colorimetry method. was calculated by dividing TG HDL. equation obtained adiposity index (WC/(36.58+(1.89xBMI)) x (TG/0.81) (1.52/HDL). used Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Immunoassay (ELFA) Relationship status spearman rank test (p<0.05). Median 25(OH) were 9.75 (8-18.6)ng/mL. There weak negative females (p=0.020; r= -0.287) (p=0.019; 0.287). TG/HDL
