In 2016, an estimated 40% of the global population was overweight, reflecting the importance of the issue. Obesity is linked to metabolism malfunction and concomitantly with altered mineral levels in the body. In this paper, we review alterations in somatic levels of iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, iodine, chromium, selenium, and zinc in relation to excess body mass. Methodology: An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed. Our search covered original English research articles published over the past five years, culminating in 63 papers included for study. Results: The reviewed papers presented correlation between obesity and hypomagnesemia and hypozincemia. They also indicated that patients with excess body mass present increased body copper levels. Studies have similarly indicated that obesity appears to be associated with lower selenium levels in both blood and urine, which may be correlated with the decline and weakening of defenses against oxidative stress. It has been found that decreased level of chromium is connected with metabolic syndrome. Chromium supplementation influences body mass, but the effect of the supplementation depends on the chemical form of the chromium. It is hypothesized that obesity poses a risk of iodine deficiency and iodine absorption may be disrupted by increased fat intake in obese women. A range of studies have suggested that obesity is correlated with iron deficiency. On the other hand, some reports have indicated that excess body mass may coexist with iron excess. The relation between obesity and body iron level requires further investigation. Calcium signaling seems to be disturbed in obesity, due to the increased production of reactive oxygen species and low level of fast troponin isoform responsible for mediating calcium sensitivity of muscle relaxation. Correlation between excess body mass and calcium levels needs further research. Conclusions: Excess body mass is associated with alterations in mineral levels in the body, in particular hypomagnesemia and decreased selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) levels. Chromium (Cr) deficiency is associated with metabolic syndrome. Obese patients are at risk of iodine deficiency. Excess body mass is associated with elevated levels of copper (Cu). Data on the association between obesity and iron (Fe) levels are contradictory. Obesity coexists with disturbed calcium (Ca) signaling pathways. The association between obesity and body Ca levels has not been investigated in detail.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21197306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,3]],"date-time":"2020-10-03T07:22:16Z","timestamp":1601709736000},"page":"7306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["The Association between Excess Body Mass and Disturbances in Somatic Mineral Levels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Weronika","family":"Banach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Fredry St. 10, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karolina","family":"Nitschke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Fredry St. 10, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Krajewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Fredry St. 10, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"Mongia\u0142\u0142o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Fredry St. 10, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oskar","family":"Matuszak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Fredry St. 10, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f3zef","family":"Muszy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Fredry St. 10, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5643-6899","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damian","family":"Skrypnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Treatment of Obesity, Metabolic Disorders and Clinical Dietetics, Pozna\u0144 University of Medical Sciences, Szamarzewskiego St. 82\/84, 60-569 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Levesque, R.J.R.
