Vitamin D deficiency provokes obesity Low vitamin D levels can have large-scale and undetected side effects Netherlands experts have been able to prove that a person has a high risk of obesity if the level of vitamin D in the body is below normal.

Obesity is a global epidemic and contributes an annual increase of 2.8 million people per year.

Vitamin D deficiency is usually associated with a bone health disorder, but in recent years it is also associated with a higher risk of acute respiratory tract infections, autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, a low level of vitamin D can have large-scale and undetected side effects.

The author of the new study, Rachid Rafik of the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, found that vitamin D deficiency also has a connection with obesity in adults.

The researchers found that there is a strong relationship between the lack of a given vitamin and a sharp increase in the amount of abdominal fat.
