Abstract

Vitamin D(VD) deficiency and childhood obesity have become two public health problems.With the increasing recognition of the extra-bone effects of VD, the relationship between VD and childhood obesity has become a hot research topic.In recent years, more and more studies have demonstrated that VD deficiency is associated with obesity and other metabolic diseases.The serum level of VD in obese population is significantly lower than that in normal weight population.And maternal VD deficiency during pregnancy is closely related to the overweight of offspring, VD supplementation for obese population helps lower body mass index.However, the causal relationship between VD deficiency and obesity is still unclear, and the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated either.This review summarizes the epidemiological characteristics of VD deficiency and childhood obesity, the correlation and the underlying mechanism.
