Diabetes was defined by either fasting plasma glucose levels \u2265126 mg\/dL, 2-h post-load glucose levels \u2265200 mg\/dL after a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, or diabetes diagnosed by physicians. We fitted conditional logistic regression models to examine the associations between SHBG and total testosterone levels with diabetes by sex. To evaluate the impact of fatty liver, we used the fatty liver index (FLI), a validated measure derived from serum triglyceride levels, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and \u03b3-glutamyltransferase levels.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>After adjusting for age, family history of diabetes, smoking, physical activity, BMI, and FLI, SHBG levels were inversely associated with diabetes among women (odds ratio [OR] comparing the highest with the lowest quartiles, 0.13 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.02\u20130.96]), but not among men. Similar patterns were observed in a subgroup analysis restricted to postmenopausal women\"(OR, 0.12 [95% CI, 0.01\u20131.17]).
