The modification effects of liver function on relationships of MetS and its constituents with HBV infection, Aflatoxin B1 exposure and MC-LR exposure. (a) The association between the liver function and HBV infection. (b) The association between the liver function and Aflatoxin B1 exposure. (c) The association between the liver function and MC-LR exposure. HBV infection and the higher AFB1 exposure (EDI) were inversely associated with MetS no matter whether the liver function was normal or abnormal. For people with HBV infection, the number of the constituents of MetS with decreased risk was higher in those showing abnormal liver function than in those showing normal liver function. For people with the higher AFB1 level, the number of the constituents of MetS with decreased risk were lower in those showing abnormal liver function than in those showing normal liver function. For people showing either normal or abnormal liver function, those exposed to the higher or lower MC-LR levels showed no difference in the risk of MetS and all its constituents.
