Methods One hundred healthy postmenopausal women were included in a cross-sectional study. Venous blood was collected after an overnight fast and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, glucose and insulin levels were measured. HOMA-IR was calculated. Bone mineral density was measured with a dual X-ray absorptiometer. Results There was no difference in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and HOMA-IR values between the two groups. A weak positive correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and osteopenia was detected. Insulin resistance had a weak negative association with osteopenia. Conclusions The correlations between osteopenia and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and HOMA-IR values were weak among early postmenopausal women.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPOSTMENOPAUSE25-HYDROXYVITAMIN DHOMA-IRINSULIN RESISTANCEVITAMIN-D SUPPLEMENTATIONIMPAIRED GLUCOSE-TOLERANCEBONE-MINERAL DENSITYD DEFICIENCYINSULIN-SECRETIONHYPOVITAMINOSIS-DWOMENFRACTURECALCIUMRISKarticleWOS:00033650740001110.3109/13697137.2013.823393238484341473-0804
