Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Obesity

Researchers from McGill University and Univ. of Southern California recently released a report showing after puberty girls that low vitamin D have experienced stunted growth and obesity to win.

Richard Kremer, the Co Director of the Health Center, McGill and colleagues studied serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, bone density, height, body fat and weight in 90 Caucasian and Hispanic girls aged 16-22. 59% ofParticipants, we found the insufficient levels of vitamin D have. Those who had experienced the lack of increased body mass, weight gain and body fat and shorter than those subjects with adequate vitamin D levels had. In this study, they found no correlation with bone mineral density and vitamin D.

Dr. Kremer found that it was a miracle, such a high prevalence of the lack of young girls who lived in such an SO-rich region. He also noted that, due to the higher levels of consciousness often controlled vitamin D in older people, but in what seems to be ignoring healthy adolescents. Since this is the case, the study found that women with vitamin D deficiency are more difficult to have a higher BMI, more and more abdominal fat than the young girls with normal levels.

According to Dr. Vicente Gilsanz, the co-author of the study should identify more doctors deficiency,> Vitamin D levels, especially if it as simple as a blood test. Since low vitamin D levels may increase to increased fat accumulation and the risk of chronic disease, more tests are conducted to determine whether vitamin D supplements produce significant benefits in the development of healthy young men.
