This study was conducted to determine the relationship between weight reduction and serum vitamin D concentration in obese post-menopausal women. Forty obese post-menopausal women with vitamin D deficiency were participated in this study from Al-Mataria Teaching hospital during the period between February 2017 and January 2018. They were divided into two groups equal in number; group (A) which performed aerobic exercises in form of walking on treadmill for 30 min (60-70% of max. HR), 3sessions / week for 12 weeks and received a diet program, group (B) which served as control group. Both groups (A&B) were evaluated before and after the study through measuring vitamin D level by blood sample test, weight, body mass index and percentage of fat by body composition analysis equipment and health status by EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. The Result of this study showed that there was a non-statistical correlation between vitamin D and weight, BMI, percentage of fat and questionnaire. Accordingly, it could be concluded that there was no relationship between weight reduction and serum vitamin D concentration in obese post-menopausal women
