Correlation of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels with Total Body Fat and Adipose Tissue Depots According to Body Mass Index Categories (Obese and Nonobese)
| Variable | Obese (BMI≥25 kg/m2) | Nonobese (BMI<25 kg/m2) |
|---|---|---|
| Body fat (%) | 0.014 | 0.26 |
| TAAT (cm2) | −0.44a | −0.006 |
| SCAT (cm2) | 0.069 | −0.002 |
| IAAT (cm2) | 0.014 | −0.24 |
Correlation regression analyses was carried out to evaluate the independent association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with body fat variables. Coefficients represent the change in 25-hydroxyvitamin D level (ng/mL) for an increase in the value of the predictor variables.
