Abstract

 The prevalence of common obesity has become an issue of major public health concern across the globe. Studies conducted world wide have shown an association between common obesity and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency can account for the secular trends in the prevalence of obesity and for individual differences in its onset and severity. Thus it may be possible to reverse the increasing prevalence of obesity by improving the vitamin D status.
