With rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now a leading cause of chronic liver disease. One-third of obese or diabetic men have subnormal free and bioavailable testosterone concentrations.1 Several studies have further shown low testosterone to be associated with imaging-confirmed NAFLD in men,2 although it is unknown whether low testosterone confers increased risk of more clinically relevant manifestations of NAFLD, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and NASH fibrosis. We therefore aimed to evaluate the association of testosterone with histologic features of NAFLD among a representative cohort of men from the multicenter NASH Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN).
