GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Thus, the primary objective of this study was to determine prospective associations between childhood energy intake and markers of NAFLD [ultrasound scan (USS)–determined liver fat and stiffness and blood-based indicators of liver function, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT)] assessed at mean age 17.8 y, and to determine whether any observed associations were mediated through total body fat at the time liver outcomes were assessed.
