Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are inversely associated with body adiposity measurements but the association with bone mass is non-linear in postmenopausal women

• Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration is inversely associated with fat mass, gynoid fat, and android in post-menopausal women. has an inverse ‘U’ association several adiposity measures The between serum bone mass non-linear, relationship Vitamin deficiency been linked to increased decreased density. It not known if vitamin postmenopausal Qatar We investigated [25-hydroxyvitmain (25(OH)D)] measurements women using Biobank data (n = 935). status was self-reported by participants. Multivariate adjusted regression applied determine the 25(OH)D body markers mass. significantly, index (p < 0.0005), waist circumference (0.044), 0.003), 0.001), 0.009). appeared have measures. Overall, were lowest 4 th quartile significantly lower compared 1 st 25(OH)D. In multivariable analysis, no found when categorized. a continuous variable significant, ‘U’. conclusion, non-linearly Qatari
