High serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are associated with greater lean tissue mass and skeletal muscle mass:a cross-sectional study on young healthy Japanese women.

Studies have shown that low serum 25(OH)D levels in young women may affect not only their own health but also the health of next generation through pregnancy and childbirth. The aim of this study is to assess the serum 25(OH)D levels in young Japanese women and to determine the factors influencing the changes in their serum 25(OH)D levels. Herein, 83 healthy young Japanese women were included.
