Someone who lack vitamin D are more likely to suffer from diabetes type two, regardless of weight, according to a recent study in the Endocrine Society's dipublikaskan Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
These findings strengthen the relationship between vitamin D, obesity, and metabolic syndrome such as diabetes. According to some studies, people whose vitamin D levels are low in the body, are more likely to suffer from obesity than those with vitamin D levels to normal.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and maintain healthy muscles and bones. Naturally, the body produces this vitamin after exposure to sunlight. In addition, this vitamin can be obtained from certain foods such as milk with vitamin D.
The researchers estimate that more than one billion people worldwide are deficient in vitamin D, due to lack of exposure to sunlight.
"This study compared the levels of vitamin D among people with diverse weight, and whether they have diabetes," said one of the study authors from the Instituto de Investigacion Biomedica de Málaga (IBIMA) in Complejo hospitalario de Málaga (Virgen de la Victoria), Mercedes Clemente-Postigo, MSc.
In the study, researchers recruited 118 participants. All participants were classified by body mass index, whether to have diabetes, prediabetes or glycemic disorders.
They then measured the level of vitamin D in the body's bloodstream participants and gene expression of vitamin D receptor in adipose tissue (body fat).
The study shows that obese people are not impaired glucose metabolism have vitamin D levels higher than participants with diabetes.
Meanwhile, participants who suffer from diabetes or glucose metabolism disorder have low vitamin D content. According to the researchers, the level of vitamin D is directly related to the level of glucose, not with body mass index.
"Our findings indicate vitamin D is closely related to glucose metabolism than obesity. Studies show that vitamin D deficiency and obesity interact synergistically to increase the risk of diabetes and other metabolic disorders," said another study author, Manuel Macías-González, PhD.
"Most people are able to mitigate these risks with a healthy diet and enough outdoor activities," he added
