Anthropometric data [waist circumference, body mass index (BMI)] and metabolic parameters: blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin, lipid profile, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and (25(OH)D) were obtained. The cutoff points for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were ≤ 20 and 21– 29 ng/mL, respectively. Individuals were classified as MUHO according to HOMA-IR≥ 2.5.Results: This study comprised 232 individuals with obesity (BMI≥ 35 kg/m2; 42.6± 4.7 kg/m2). The MUHO phenotype was observed in 76.7% of the population. The mean values of glucose (P< 0.001), insulin (P< 0.001), HOMA-IR (P< 0.001), and triglycerides (P=0.049) were significantly higher in the MUHO than in the MHO phenotype group. The mean value of 25(OH)D showed a significant difference between the MHO and MUHO phenotype groups (P=0.011). Additionally, and in line, lower mean 25(OH)D values were found in the MUHO vs the MHO phenotype group in the deficiency (14.5± 3.6 ng/mL/17.1± 2.7 ng/mL, P=0.004) and insufficiency (24.5± 2.9 ng/mL/25.7± 2.6 ng/mL, P=0.077) 25(OH)D groups. An increase of 1 ng/mL of vitamin D increased in 1.051 (95% CI= 1.011– 1.093, P=0.012) the odds of the healthy phenotype.Conclusion: The highest prevalence of inadequacy of serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and greater severity of this deficiency in individuals with MUHO phenotype were observed. Low serum concentrations of this vitamin were associated, mainly, with insulin resistance. Monitoring the nutritional status of vitamin D in individuals with obesity that present with MUHO phenotype may contribute to minimize the occurrence and aggravation of diseases associated with obesity.Keywords: metabolically healthy obesity, nutritional status, 25(OH)D, metabolic diseases
