This randomized controlled trial examined changes in serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations following a six‑month high‑ or low‑carbohydrate weight‑loss intervention. Among 119 participants, 92% were vitamin D insufficient and 40% were deficient at baseline, with little improvement after weight loss despite significant reductions in weight and fat mass. Changes in 25(OH)D were not associated with diet type or weight loss. These findings suggest that weight loss alone does not improve vitamin D status, highlighting the need for supplementation among individuals with overweight or obesity, particularly in regions with limited sun exposure. 000000554 540__ $$fCC BY 000000554 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000554 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000000554 650__ $$aDiet$$017776 000000554 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000000554 650__ $$aVitamin D$$027875 000000554 650__ $$aWeight Loss$$028407 000000554 650__ $$aOverweight$$036327 000000554 650__ $$aVitamin D Deficiency$$027876 000000554 650__ $$aDiet, Fat-Restricted$$031067 000000554 650__ $$aDiet, Carbohydrate-Restricted$$036410 000000554 6531_ $$aclinical nutrition 000000554 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000554 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000000554 7001_ $$aMiksa, Stephanie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000554 7201_ $$aStadler, Diane$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000000554 8564_ $$985cce3ea-4b94-4fe0-bc29-579a29f917af$$s472352$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/554/files/555_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$243e18c7d033042e97194f7ae9c49cf78$$31 000000554 905__ $$a/rest/prod/qz/20/ss/52/qz20ss52b 000000554 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:554$$pstudent-work 000000554 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000554 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
