The participants were categorized based on their vitamin D status and further divided according to body mass index (BMI). Anthropometric and biochemical data were collected to compute body composition indices, specifically body fat and muscle mass. The sample included 124 women, with 63.70% exhibiting vitamin D inadequacy. Women with inadequate vitamin D status demonstrated a higher waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body adiposity index (BAI), along with a lower BMI-adjusted muscle mass index (SMI BMI), compared to those with adequate levels of vitamin D (p = 0.021; p = 0.019; and p = 0.039, respectively). A positive correlation was observed between circulating concentrations of 25(OH)D and SMI BMI, while a negative correlation existed between circulating concentrations of 25(OH)D and waist circumference (WC), WHtR, conicity index (CI), fat mass index (FMI), body fat percentage (% BF), and fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR). These findings suggest that inadequate vitamin D status may impact muscle tissue and contribute to higher body adiposity, including visceral adiposity. It is recommended that these variables be incorporated into clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on WHtR and SMI BMI, to mitigate potential metabolic consequences associated with vitamin D inadequacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16091267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]],"date-time":"2024-04-25T05:26:13Z","timestamp":1714022773000},"page":"1267","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Vitamin D Inadequacy and Its Relation to Body Fat and Muscle Mass in Adult Women of Childbearing Age"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Paula Moreira","family":"Magalh\u00e3es","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21044-020, Brazil"},{"name":"Center for Research on Micronutrients (NPqM), Institute of Nutrition Josu\u00e9 de Castro, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-902, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1945-1672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabrina Pereira da","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on Micronutrients (NPqM), Institute of Nutrition Josu\u00e9 de Castro, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-902, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orion Ara\u00fajo","family":"Carneiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on Micronutrients (NPqM), Institute of Nutrition Josu\u00e9 de Castro, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-902, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7529-116X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle Teixeira","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Nutrition, Nutrition School, Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO), Rio de Janeiro 22290-250, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9a","family":"Ramalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on Micronutrients (NPqM), Institute of Nutrition Josu\u00e9 de Castro, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-902, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Social and Applied Nutrition, Institute of Nutrition Josu\u00e9 de Castro, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-902, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1179562X18767884","DOI":"10.1177\/1179562X18767884","article-title":"The Prevalence of Hypovitaminosis D and Its Associated Risk Factors Among Women of Reproductive Age in Saudi Arabia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","volume":"11","author":"Alzaheb","year":"2018","journal-title":"Clin.
