Context: Mortality is 85% higher in severely obese subjects (body mass index [BMI] >40 kg/m(2)) than in subjects with a healthy BMI; poor physical function may be contributory. Hypovitaminosis D is common in obese subjects and is associated with physical dysfunction in the elderly.Objective: We determined the relationship between vitamin D status and physical function in severely obese subjects.Design, Setting, and Patients: We conducted a clinic-based, cross-sectional study of severely obese subjects. Participants were stratified into three groups according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) vitamin D status categorization.Main Outcome Measures: We compared levels of self-reported activity and times taken to walk 500 m and to ascend and descend a 17-cm step 50 times.Results: We recruited 252 subjects (age, 43.7 +/- 11.2 y; BMI, 50.7 +/- 9.7 kg/m(2)); 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations were less than 30 nmol/L in 109 participants. Participants with a 25OHD >50 nmol/L, compared to those with a 25OHD
