The Association of vitamin D status and fasting glucose according to body fat mass in young healthy Thais

摘要

Background Existing inconclusive data on the relationship between vitamin D status and human glucose homeostasis suggests that other factors, such as adiposity, might influence this relationship. The present study aimed to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the context of different amounts of total body fat in a healthy community-based population in Bangkok, Thailand. Methods This cross-sectional study was a part of health survey of employees of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. There were 1,990 healthy subjects (72.8% male) in this study. Total body fat was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Total serum 25(OH)D, 25(OH)D₃ and 25(OH)D₂ were measured by LC-MS/MS. Result s Age (r?=?0.134, p Conclusions We therefore speculate that adiposity might influence the relationship of vitamin D status and FPG.
