Low Serum Vitamin D Concentrations Are Associated with Insulin Resistance in Mexican Children and Adolescents
Previous studies in the Mexican adult population have suggested a relationship between low levels of serum concentrations of serum vitamin D with impaired glucose tolerance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes, regardless of the presence of obesity. The aim of this study is to investigate the relations...
