Aim: Body mass index (BMI) 30.0-34.99 kg/m2 class I obese, 35.0-39.99 kg/m2 class II obese and ≥ 40 kg/m2 class III obese are defined according to World Health Organization’s classification of obesity. In our study, we aimed to determine the relationship between vitamin D and body composition and lipid profile in obese male individuals. Material and Methods: The values of 232 obese male individuals were included in the study retrospectively. Body compositions were determined with a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (TANITA-48M), while blood parameters were obtained by biochemical measurements. SPSS22 (IBM Corp. Armonk, NY) was used for statistical analysis and p <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: 96 males (41.4%) were class I obese, 78 males (33.6%) were class II obese and 58 males (25%) were class III obese. The mean 25OH Vitamin D values were found to be 17.31±8.56. However, the number of obese men with normal 25OH Vitamin D values was determined as 18 (7.8%). The number of obese men with deficient or insufficient 25OH Vitamin D levels was found 214 (92.24%). It was determined that as 25OH Vitamin D decreased in class III morbidly obese males, body mass index and fat percentage increased (p<0.05). Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation should be considered important due to the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in obese males.
