Conditions were defined as follows: female sex=1, obesity (body mass index ≥28 kg/m2), hypertension (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg or antihypertensive drug treatment), body fat ratio ≥25 for women or ≥20 for men, blood fasting glucose ≥6.1 mmol/L, and liver enzyme elevation (AST ≥40 U/L or ALT ≥40 U/L).
ORs and the corresponding P values derived from binary or multiple logistic regression analyses using SPSS V.17.0 software.
ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase.
