  Introduction: Obesity is characterized by an excess of adipose tissue in the body. Research shows that vitamin D may play an important role in the genesis of obesity as evidenced by epidemiological, genetic and metabolic data. Objective: To perform a literature search on serum levels of Vitamin D in obese individuals. Materials and methods: This is an integrative literature review. To search for and select the studies, the following databases were used: Scielo, Medline, Lilacs and BVS, totaling 10 articles, published between the years 2013 and 2018. Results and discussion: In all studies it was verified that fat accumulation may cause vitamin D deficiency, which was evidenced by the fact that obese individuals present lower serum levels of vitamin D compared to eutrophic. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is an important public health problem in many countries, because its implications are predisposing factor for the emergence of several pathologies.

  Introdução: A obesidade caracteriza-se por um excesso de tecido adiposo no organismo. Pesquisas revelam que a vitamina D pode exercer uma função importante na gênese da obesidade como evidenciado em dados epidemiológicos, genéticos e metabólicos. Objetivo: Realizar uma busca bibliográfica sobre os níveis séricos de Vitamina D em indivíduos obesos. Materiais e métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa. Para busca e seleção dos estudos utilizou-se as seguintes bases de dados: Scielo, Medline, Lilacs e BVS, totalizando 10 artigos, publicados entre os anos de 2013 a 2018. Resultados e discussão: Em todos os estudos verificou-se que o acumulo de gordura pode causar deficiência de vitamina D, o que foi evidenciado pelo fato de os indivíduos obesos apresentarem menores níveis séricos da mesma, quando comparados aos eutróficos. Conclusão: A deficiência de vitamina D é um importante problema de saúde pública em muitos países, em razão de suas implicações serem fator predisponente para o surgimento de diversas patologias. ABSTRACT Serum vitamin d levels in obesive individualsIntroduction: Obesity is characterized by an excess of adipose tissue in the body.
