In this study, in females with prediabetes, 25-OH-vitamin D was notably related to a more favourable metabolic profile, including lower total cholesterol and higher HDL cholesterol levels. On the contrary, in men with prediabetes, there was a stronger association between 25-OH-vitamin D and cholesterol-HDL quotient, as well as fatty liver index was observed in the male prediabetic subgroup. Therefore, sex differences should be considered in future studies on vitamin D and glucose tolerance status.
