Association of Hb levels with fatty liver disease. (A) Hb levels of the subjects with no liver fat accumulation (n = 697) and subjects with liver fat accumulation (n = 256) at baseline. (B) Baseline mean ± SD of serum alanine aminotransferase (s-ALT) levels for the corresponding Hb quartiles. Hb quartile 1 has the lowest Hb and Hb quartile 4 the highest Hb levels. For S-ALT analysis was adjusted for smoking, alcohol consumption and BMI. Hb hemoglobin.
