Background: Although previous studies have described a positive correlation between physical activity and hydroxyvitamin D concentrations 25 OH D , there have been inconsistent results in regard to the frequency or intensity of physical activity needed to achieve adequate 25 OH D status. Methods: The present analysis was based on data from participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey General linear models adjusted for confounders were created to compare mean 25 OH D and 25 OH 3 concentrations across physical activity status.
Results: A total of adults with a mean age of Overall, Older adults physically active had 8. Conclusions: Leisure-time physical activity appears to be an effective manner of maintaining adequate vitamin D concentrations later in life. Therefore, promoting physical activity in older adults should be a national public health priority.
