Abstract

Our study showed a high prevalence of abdominal obesity, vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in residents from North-West region of Russia, close association between adipokine (leptin, adiponectin) concentrations as well as vitamin D status and body composition (WC, BMI). However in our study the interlink between leptin level and 25(OH)D was found only in females. Further investigations are required to study the relationship between serum 25(OH)D level, obesity and serum adipokine levels.
