Association of dietary patterns with serum vitamin D concentration among Iranian adults with abdominal obesity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
IntroductionVitamin D is obtained from dermal synthesis and dietary sources. The serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], may be used to evaluate vitamin D status, and this has been related to different dietary patterns (DPs) in previous studies. The bioavailability of vitamin D may be affected by adiposity. We aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns and serum 25(OH)D in an Iranian population sample with abdominal obesity.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was undertaken in 215 adults who were 30–50 years old, and comprised students and employees of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS), who had abdominal obesity. Serum 25(OH)D was measured using an enzyme-linked immunoassay method. A 65-item validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a principal components factor analysis (PCA) method were used to determine major dietary patterns.ResultsTwo major dietary patterns were identified among the study population using PCA, and were termed “healthy” and “unhealthy”. The healthy dietary pattern was characterized by a high intake of fruits, green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, honey, dairy products, olive oil, nuts, poultry, legumes, and soup and low intake of sugar, tea and solid fats. An unhealthy dietary pattern was characterized by high consumption of carbonated beverages, processed meat, fast foods, snacks, mayonnaise, seafood, red meat, refined grains, pickled foods, coffee, mineral water, potato, liquid fats, and egg. Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D were directly associated with adherence to the healthy dietary pattern (r: 0.170, p<0.05); though, there was no association between unhealthy pattern and serum 25(OH)D level.ConclusionSerum 25(OH)D level was significantly associated with adherence to a healthy dietary pattern in a sample of Iranian adults in Mashhad city, Iran.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
