Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between vitamin D status, total and abdominal adiposity, and lipids in black and white children.Methods: Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH) D], adiposity [body mass index (BMI), percentage of total body fat, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), sc adipose tissue (SAT)], and fasting lipids were assessed in healthy obese and nonobese 8- to 18-yr-old black and white children.Results: We studied 237 children (mean +/- SD age, 12.7 +/- 2.2 yr; 47% black, 47% obese, and 43% male). Mean 25(OH) D concentration for the entire cohort was 19.4 +/- 7.4 ng/ml. The majority of the children were vitamin D deficient [25(OH) D
