Abstract

Obesity is a chronic health problem inflecting most today’s communities. There association between obesity and an array of subsequent chronic health problems is a well-established. Now that vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to obesity, a review of the relationship between obesity and vitamin D including mechanisms, determinants, and severities may be rationalized. Understanding the association between the two conditions helps update available preventive approaches and provide opportunity for a better protection of risk population groups.
