Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are inversely associated with body adiposity measurements but the association with bone mass is non-linear in postmenopausal women by Vijay, Ganji

“…In multivariable adjusted analysis, no association was found between serum 25(OH)D concentration and bone mass when serum 25(OH)D was categorized. In a continuous variable analysis, the association between 25(OH)D and bone mass was significant, non-linear, inverse ‘U’. …”
