abstract = {The aim was to investigate the associations between different physical activity (PA) patterns
and sedentary time (ST) with vitamin D deficiency (<12 ng/mL) in a large sample of Chilean women.
In this cross-sectional study, the final sample included 1245 adult and 686 older women. The PA
levels, mode of commuting, ST, and leisure-time PA were self-reported. Vitamin D deficiency was
defined as <12 ng/mL and insufficiency as <20 ng/mL. A higher ST was associated with vitamin D
deficiency (odds ratio (OR): 2.4, 95%: 1.6–4.3) in adults, and passive commuting was associated with
vitamin D deficiency in older (OR: 1.7, 95%: 1.1–2.7). Additionally, we found a joint association in the
high ST/passive commuting group in adults (OR: 2.8, 95%: 1.6–4.9) and older (OR: 2.8, 95%: 1.5–5.2)
with vitamin D deficiency, in respect to low ST/active commuting. The PA levels and leisure-time
PA were not associated with vitamin D deficiency. In conclusion, mode of commuting and ST seems
important variables related to vitamin D deficiency. Promoting a healthy lifestyle appears important
also for vitamin D levels in adult and older women. Further studies are needed to establish causality
of this association and the effect of vitamin D deficiency in different diseases in this population.},
