Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) values for fatty liver and MS according to the baseline serum GGT and ALT gradings

The factors (ALT grading and GGT grading) correlated with fatty liver or metabolic syndrome were evaluated using the multiple logistic regression analysis after adjustment for clinical and biochemical parameters. The several variables with P less than .1 in univariate analysis were included.

^*Adjusted for obesity, systolic blood pressure >130 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure >85 mmHg, metabolic syndrome, fasting blood sugar, GGT, ^†Adjusted for obesity, systolic blood pressure >130 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure >85 mmHg, metabolic syndrome, fasting blood sugar, ALT, ^§Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure >130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >85 mmHg, HDL cholesterol, fatty liver, body weight, GGT, ^∥Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure >130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >85 mmHg, HDL cholesterol, fatty liver, body weight, ALT ALT grading (first 1-14 IU/L, second 15-19 IU/L, third 20-25 IU/L, and fourth 26-40 IU/L) GGT grading (first 1-10 IU/L, second 11-15 IU/L, third 16-24 IU/L, and fourth 25-50 IU/L).
