Low serum vitamin D is independently associated with unexplained elevated ALT only among non-obese men in the general population.
CONCLUSIONS: In a "real-life" general population, the association between vitamin D deficiency and unexplained elevated ALT is specific for non-obese men. The clinical significance of vitamin D for human NAFLD should be further elucidated with attention for a modifying effect of gender and adiposity.
