The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of vitamin D status with carbohydrate metabolism and anthropometric status in postmenopausal Novosibirsk women.We analyzed correlations of carbohydrate metabolism parameters and body weight with hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels using the Spearman test in 60 women. 25(OH)D levels correlations (p < 0.05) with a waist circumference (r = 0.51–0.64), blood glucose and HbA1c (r = 0.55–0.56), C-peptide (r = 0.53), duration of hypertension (r = –0.69) and diabetes (r = – 0.41) differed depending on the condition of carbohydrate metabolism. Insufficient supply of vitamin D through association with abdominal fat deposition, insulin secretion and duration of hypertension contributes to the formation of type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal Novosibirsk women.
