BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; ROC = receiver operating characteristic; SADHtR = sagittal abdominal diameter/height ratio; WHtR = waist circumference/height ratio.

These population estimates were calculated for nonelderly, nonpregnant US adults without diagnosed diabetes in 2011–2012.

^*P-values are presented without Bonferroni corrections; when testing 3 hypotheses, statistical signiicance may be established conservatively at α = 0.017.

^†Models for HyperALT and HyperGGT do not include a term for sex adjustment.
