Abstract

The vitamin D is key in the regulation of the mineral homeostasis, protecting the integrity of the bone and modulating its growth. Its deficiency is currently a public health problem. Out of the bone the vitamin D has been associated with metabolic effects. Recent studies have demonstrated the relation between low levels of vitamin D and obesity. The concentration of vitamin D is associated with adiposity, but several studies suggest that the deficiency of vitamin D can be an independent factor related to the pathogenesis of comorbidities associated with the obesity. In this article, the pathophysiology of vitamin D deficiency and its association with obesity and comorbidities related with obesity are reviewed.
