This study aimed to investigate the vitamin D3 kevel of women and its relation with metabolic syndrome risk factors. Materials & methods: A cross-sectional study conducted between 200 healthy women aged 20 to 50 in two groups of normal BMI (BMI=18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and overweight/obese group (BMI≥25 kg/m2) who did not use mineral and vitamin supplementation. A fasting blood sample after 10 to 12 hour collected for fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and vitamin D3(25 OH D3) and weight, height, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured. Results: The mean of 89 obese subjects and 76 normal weight ones were 36±9 years old. The mean of 25 hydroxy vitamin D3 was not significantly different between the two groups 22.3±19.9 ng/ml for normal weight group and 16.5±11.4 ng/ml for the obese one (p=0.31).
