Previous studies suggested that low vitamin D status was associated with obesity. However, most of them evaluated obesity based on body mass index (BMI) and there are no studies at present exploring the association between vitamin D status and different obesity markers. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of low vitamin D status and evaluate the association between the vitamin D status and different obesity markers among older adults in West China.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Data was based on the baseline of West China Health and Aging Trends study (WCHAT). All of the participants were older than 60 years old in the present study. Vitamin D status was based on laboratory data, and obesity markers were assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) using the InBody 770 analyzer. Multiple linear regression was performed to find the association between the vitamin D status and various obesity markers.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study included 2661 individuals (mean age: 67.7\u2009\u00b1\u20096.0 years; males: 41\u2009%). The mean vitamin D level was 18.8\u2009\u00b1\u20096.3 ng\/ml (range: 5 to 59 ng\/ml); 5.2\u2009% of participants had a sufficient level of vitamin D, 31.8\u2009% had vitamin D insufficiency, and 63.0\u2009% had vitamin D deficiency. Our results showed that vitamin D status was negatively associated with fat mass index (FMI), visceral fat area (VFA), and waist-hip ratio (WHR) in both sexes. Comparing to other obesity markers, WHR had the strongest correlation with vitamin D status in both sexes (\u03b2 = -6.090, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.046 in males; \u03b2 = -11.253, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 in females). No significant association was found between vitamin D status and BMI in males.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency among older adults in West China was high.
