Abstract Objectives: The present study was aimed to examine the association of hypovitaminosis D with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with concomitant prediabetes and to explore whether this association is mediated by insulin resistance during this disorder. Methods: We studied 151 prediabetic subjects consisting of 55 impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) and 96 impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) who came in Bangladesh Institute of Health Sciences General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh to diagnose their metabolic evaluation from April 2012 to June 2013. Prediabetes was confirmed by 2-sample OGTT based on WHO Group Study Criteria. NAFLD was examined by upper abdomen ultrasonography comprising into non NAFLD (n=84; M/F, 47/37) and NAFLD (n=67; M/F, 38/29) groups. Serum insulin and 25-hydro... view moreĀ»
