Metabolic adaptation
Weight loss induced by a low-calorie diet resulted in an increase in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in both women and men by 12 nmol/L and 13 nmol/L respectively.
Weight loss through a low-calorie diet can improve vitamin D levels in individuals with obesity.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The low-calorie diet-induced weight loss resulted in an increase in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in both women and men [12 nmol/L (95% confidence interval [CI] 9-15) and 13 nmol/L (95% CI 8-17); P < .001 for both].
