BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Although the associations of vitamin D with obesity and metabolic abnormalities have been reported, the role of vitamin D in the transition of obesity phenotype remains unclear but is highly desired since it is crucial to identify potential methods for obesity management. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and the risk for metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) or metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) in metabolically healthy children with 2 years of follow-up.

METHODS: Data were collected from a population-based cohort consisting of 6424 metabolically healthy children aged 6-16 years at baseline. Metabolic abnormalities including hypertension, high triglycerides (TG), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), hyperglycemia, and hyperuricemia were assessed both at baseline and follow-up. Baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations were measured as exposure. The obesity phenotype transition was evaluated by weight status with the combination of metabolic health status from baseline to follow-up.

RESULTS: During a 2-year follow-up, 889 (13.8 %) incident MUO cases occurred. For participants with obesity, each 10 nmol/L increment in 25(OH)D concentrations was associated with a 21 % (95%CI: 13 %∼43 %) and a 7 % (95%CI: 1 %∼14 %) decreased risk in high TG and hyperuricemia, respectively. A 51 % (95%CI: 22 %∼69 %) lower risk of MUO was observed in participants with sufficient vitamin D levels (≥50 nmol/L) compared to those with vitamin D deficiency (<30 nmol/L). Besides, among children who were MHO at baseline, those with sufficient vitamin D levels (≥50 nmol/L) were more likely to transition to metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) than vitamin D deficient individuals (<30 nmol/L).

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D may prevent the development of MUO and help increase the transition from MHO to MHNW. The findings highlight that vitamin D might be an effective nutrient for obesity management.
