From: Vitamin D status and obesity in children from Chile

Fig. 1

Factorial ANOVA (*p < 0.05). p City = 0.744, p Nutritional status = 0.278, p Vitamin D level = 0.008*, p Interaction = 0.038*. According to WHO standards, Nutritional status includes children with BMI/Age < +1 DS classified as normal weight, with BMI/Age between +1 SD and +2 SD classified as overweight, and those with BMI/Age ≥ +2 SD as obese. VitD levels are influenced (jointly, not as independent factors) by the nutritional status of the children and the geographical location where these children live.
