Differential Associations of Vitamin D Metabolites with Adiposity and Muscle-Related Phenotypes in Korean Adults: Results from KNHANES 2022–2023
Total 25(OH)D and 25(OH)D<sub>3</sub> levels were inversely associated with adiposity and positively associated with muscle strength and lean mass, whereas the 25(OH)D<sub>2</sub> level was linked to low muscle strength and sarcopenia. The U- and J-shaped associations with low muscle mass indicate the complex and differential roles of vitamin D subspecies, warranting further study.
