studies have demonstrated an association between abdominal obesity, determined by waist circumference (WC), and vitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency in older adults. However, longitudinal evidence is based only on general obesity determined using body mass index (BMI). We investigated whether abdominal obesity is associated with the incidence of 25(OH)D insufficiency (&gt;30 and \u226450 nmol\/L) and deficiency (\u226430 nmol\/L), and whether vitamin D supplementation modifies these associations. We included 2459 participants aged \u226550 years from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) with 25(OH)D sufficiency (&gt;50 nmol\/L) at baseline. Abdominal obesity was defined as &gt;88 cm for women and &gt;102 cm for men. After 4 years, 25(OH)D concentrations were reassessed. Multinomial logistic regression models controlled by covariates were performed. Abdominal obesity increased the risk of the incidence of 25(OH)D insufficiency (RRR = 1.36; 95% CI: 1.01\u20131.83) and deficiency (RRR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.05\u20132.58). These risks were maintained when excluding individuals who took vitamin D supplementation (RRR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.02\u20131.88) and (RRR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.02\u20132.56). Abdominal obesity is associated with the risk of incidence of low 25(OH)D concentrations. WC seems to be an adequate tool for screening individuals with obesity and at potential risk of developing these conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14194164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T01:21:07Z","timestamp":1665364867000},"page":"4164","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Is Abdominal Obesity a Risk Factor for the Incidence of Vitamin D Insufficiency and Deficiency in Older Adults?
