Background  Existing inconclusive data on the relationship between vitamin D status and human glucose homeostasis suggests that other factors, such as adiposity, might influence this relationship. The present study aimed to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the context of different amounts of total body fat in a healthy community-based population in Bangkok, Thailand.    Methods  This cross-sectional study was a part of health survey of employees of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. There were 1,990 healthy subjects (72.8% male) in this study. Total body fat was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Total serum 25(OH)D, 25(OH)D 3  and 25(OH)D 2  were measured by LC-MS/MS.    Result s   Age (r = 0.134,  p  < 0.001) and FPG (r = 0.089,  p  < 0.001) were positively correlated with 25(OH)D levels, while total body fat mass (r = -0.049,  p  = 0.03) were negatively correlated with 25(OH)D levels. 25(OH)D levels were higher in males than in females (65.0 ± 0.5 vs. 53.5 ± 0.5 nmol/L,  p  < 0.001). After controlling for age, gender and total fat mass, FPG was no longer correlated with 25(OH)D. However, when subjects were stratified according to fat-free mass tertiles and controlled for age and gender, there was a positive, although weak association between 25(OH)D levels and FPG ( p  = 0.01) in the lowest tertile.    Conclusions  We therefore speculate that adiposity might influence the relationship of vitamin D status and FPG.
