Abstract:Background
Visceral obesity is independently associated with hypovitaminosis D. Perirenal fat is a visceral fat type active in performing endocrine functions. However, the relationship between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and PrFT in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) in the community.
