Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency probably takes a part in the development of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance also markly affects the obese population. In this study, 123 obese persons were selected, and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) was measured in them. Vitamin D was also measured in all participants. Among participants with HOMA-IR >2.7, significantly higher BMI and lower vitamin D were observed; furthermore, inverse relation observed between insulin resistance and vitamin D in them.
