-------: means that this factor was not included in the subgroup analysis.
ALT = alanine aminotransferase, AST = aminotransferase, BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, FBG = fasting blood glucose, GGT = glutamyl transpeptidase, HDLC = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, NAFLD = nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, OR = odds ratio, TG = triglyceride, UA = uric acid.
