Abstract. Nowadays, the obesity and the vitamin D deficiency
present a significant increased prevalence worldwide. The consequences of
obesity and vitamin D deficiency are numerous and reduce the quality of life.
We have proposed to summarize the published research regarding the association
between the obesity and the vitamin D deficiency and its different
consequences. The association between
obesity and level of vitamin D, although intensively studied, it is not fully
known. Future research is needed to
clarify this complex link between obesity and vitamin D deficiency.
