Abstract

Obesity is the chronic disease of the time of a myriad of associated dietetic and behavioral factors. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has also been linked to obesity. This work reflects an interest in studying the relationship between obesity and vitamin D deficiency in the community. A thorough review to examine available data addressing the underlying mechanisms; correlates and causal relationship between the two conditions would be carried out. Understanding the association trends between obesity and VDD states helps improve policies and suggest recommendations for the control and prevention of obesity -related VDD complex, especially among risk populations
