However, relationship between testosterone and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in postmenopausal women remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a community-based\u00a0prospective cohort study, to investigate the associations between NAFLD progression and serum testosterone, as well as its fractions, in postmenopausal women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1,705 postmenopausal women were included and analyzed after 5,269 person-years of follow-up. Serum total testosterone (TT) was measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay; concentrations and percentages (%) of free testosterone (cFT) and bioavailable testosterone (BioT) were calculated. Their relationships with NAFLD development or regression were investigated using logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Baseline concentrations and percentages of cFT and BioT, rather than TT levels, were significantly higher in non-NAFLD postmenopausal women who developed NAFLD after follow-up than in those who did not, while prominently lower in women with NAFLD regression than in those who had sustained NAFLD. Moreover, both higher concentrations and percentages of cFT and BioT were associated with the increased risk of NAFLD development; the fully adjusted ORs (95% CIs) for Q4\n                      <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      .

Meanwhile, they were associated with the decreased probability of NAFLD regression, the fully adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of cFT were 0.56 (0.33\u20130.95) and 0.23 (0.12\u20130.42), of BioT were 0.54 (0.31\u20130.91) and 0.22 (0.12\u20130.40).
