Purpose: The purpose of this study is to ascertain consequences of vitamin D3 supplement for the person with over-weight and obese body.Design of Study: Descriptive and cross-sectional. Place and duration: Material for this study was gathered from four different hospitals of Rawalpindi. The time frame of this was from January, 2018 to December, 2018. Methodology and Material: According to the randomized methodology of table, the obese persons are equally distributed two groups, named group A and group B, having 44 persons each. In this study the domination was of male participants having 81 percentage of total patients with 71 males. The persons of group A were treated with vitamin D3 supplementation for the period of three months and named as an involvement group whereas the persons of group B were treated with palliative named as placebo group. The mean ages for the both groups were as former with 38.561±7.282 years and later with 37.852±8.251 years. At the commencement of the study, some typical anthropometric parameters comprising on BMI, waist Hip Ratio, and waist perimeter are measured and recorded on the premeditated forms. At the accomplishment of treatment replication of serum vitamin D3 was done and repeated all parameters measured after three months.Results: Comparative body weight outcomes beforehand and subsequently intervention of involvement group in the persons on the supplement of Vitamin D3 showed the insignificant difference in weight (76.563±11.251 vs. 75.851±10.763) with p-value of > 0.051. Comparativewaist hip ratio outcomes beforehand and subsequently showed insignificant difference of waist perimeter (92.781±7.352 vs. 92.241±7.212) and hip perimeter (107.741±7.452 vs. 106.452±7.121) with p-value of > 0.052. Inconspicuous change is measured in BMI on the reference point 29.652±3.263 and after 12 weeks of intervention 29.38±3.1 kg/m2 which is also insignificant difference statistically. Conclusion: Anthropometric parameters comprising on BMI, Waist Hip Ratio, waist perimeter did not got improvement after the intervention of vitamin D3 supplement for three months. Resultantly alteration of vitamin D3 level for the over-weight and obese persons does not support to minimize the anthropometric parameters.
