| Core Tip |
This review challenges the conventional understanding of vitamin D deficiency in children with obesity by proposing a mechanistic framework that integrates adipose tissue dynamics, hepatic metabolism, and inflammatory signaling. It emphasizes that vitamin D status is not solely determined by intake or sun exposure, but rather results from complex physiological interactions. By highlighting the limitations of current diagnostic thresholds and supplementation strategies, the study advocates for a paradigm shift toward individualized, mechanism-based treatment approaches-an essential step to bridge the gap between biochemical adequacy and functional sufficiency in this vulnerable population. |
