Serum vitamin D metabolites and body composition parameters in women.

<p>Serum (a) 25OHD3, (b) 24,25(OH)₂D3 correlated negatively with body fat (rho = -0.30, p = 0.02 and rho = -0.33, p = 0.01, respectively), but not (c) 1α,25(OH)₂D3 (rho = -0.06, p = 0.79). Conversely, lean mass correlated positively with (f) 1α,25(OH)₂D3 (rho = 0.47, p = 0.02), but not (d) 25OHD3 or (e) 24,25(OH)₂D3 (rho = 0.03, p = 0.81, and rho = 0.03, p = 0.80). Data were analysed by Spearman correlations (rho) with p values and line of best fit shown.
