Fifty‐four healthy Caucasian women of normal weight (body mass index = 18–24.9) and obese weight (body mass index ≥30) had anthropometrics measured, and completed three‐day food records, vitamin D screening tools, and serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D tests. Findings provided evidence of usefulness of three specific screening tool items (sunscreen use, ob…
