AB Vitamin D is a micronutrient that plays a key role in phosphocalcic metabolism.The postmenopausal population presents a risk of deficiency in this vitamin due to hormonalalterations which, in the case of obesity, would be exacerbated. The objective was to assess the statusof vitamin D in a postmenopausal population and determine the relationship of 25-hydroxivitaminD [25(OH)D] and its metabolites with anthropometric parameters. The study included 78 healthypostmenopausal women aged from 44 to 76. The nutrient intake assessment was carried out using the24 h reminder (R24h). 25(OH)D was analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography(UHPLC). A total of 80% and 68% of the women studied did not reach sufficient values of 25(OH)Dand 25-hydroxivitamin D3 [25(OH)D3], respectively, which was inversely correlated with Body MassIndex (BMI) (r = −0.25, p = 0.04), hip perimeter (r = −0.26 and r = −0.24, all p < 0.05), arm circumference(r = −0.29, p = 0.01) and fat mass (r = −0.28 and r = −0.26, all p < 0.05). 25(OH)D3 is the metabolite thatcontributed most to this association. In conclusion, 25(OH)D3 levels are related to anthropometricparameters in the postmenopausal women in this study, confirming insufficient status in the majorityof the population. Approach strategies are necessary to correct and avoid this risk in order to ensurefuture quality of life.
