We investigated the relationship between vitamin D levels and 5 and 10 years of weight and waist circumference change in a population-based prospective cohort study. Methods: Prospective study including participants aged between 35 and 75 years living in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. Weight and waist change at 5- and 10-year follow-up were assessed according to baseline vitamin D status (normal, insufficiency and deficiency). Results: A total of 3638 participants (47.9 % women, mean age 51.6 \u00b1 10.4 years) were included for the 5-year follow-up. No association was found between vitamin D categories and weight change, multivariate-adjusted average \u00b1 standard error: 1.6 \u00b1 0.3, 1.5 \u00b1 0.2 and 1.2 \u00b1 0.1 kg for normal, insufficiency and deficiency, respectively, p = 0.159. For waist change, the corresponding values were 3.3 \u00b1 0.4, 3.3 \u00b1 0.2 and 3.4 \u00b1 0.2 cm, p = 0.792. For the 10-year follow-up, data from 2999 participants (45.8% women, mean age 50.8 \u00b1 10.3 years) were used. No association was found for weight 2.3 \u00b1 0.4, 2.3 \u00b1 0.2 and 2.0 \u00b1 0.2 kg, p = 0.588, or for waist 3.7 \u00b1 0.4, 3.6 \u00b1 0.3 and 4.2 \u00b1 0.2 cm for normal, insufficiency and deficiency, respectively, p = 0.259. Conclusion: No association between vitamin D status and weight or waist gain at 5- and 10-year follow-up was found.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14153185","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,3]],"date-time":"2022-08-03T23:33:01Z","timestamp":1659569581000},"page":"3185","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["No Association between Vitamin D and Weight Gain: A Prospective, Population-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0853-1458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pollyanna","family":"Patriota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Swiss Nutrition and Health Foundation, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0691-2153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serge","family":"Rezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swiss Nutrition and Health Foundation, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Idris","family":"Guessous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Primary Care Medicine, Department of Primary Care Medicine, Geneva University Hospitals, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4548-8500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro","family":"Marques-Vidal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Internal Medicine, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, 46 rue du Bugnon, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2851","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2018.12.018","article-title":"Associations of different body fat deposits with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations","volume":"38","author":"Rafiq","year":"2019","journal-title":"Clin.
