What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in this clinical trial publication.
To investigate the effect of vitamin D and testosterone on impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 2659 participants from the Henan Rural Cohort were included in the case-control study.
Why It Was Studied
Numerous studies have investigated the associations between serum vitamin D or testosterone and diabetes; however, inconsistencies are observed.
Whether there is an interaction between vitamin D and testosterone and whether the lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)) mediates the association between vitamin D and diabetes is unclear.
Who Took Part
The study group was 2659 participants.
The age groups tagged for this paper are teenagers, adults, middle-aged adults and older adults, both men and women.

The subject headings attached to it are Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Lipids, Testosterone and Vitamin D.
Author keywords: impaired fasting glucose, interactive effects, lipid profile and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
