Table 1 shows the characteristics of nondrinkers according to the quartiles of serum ALT levels. Participants between groups had significantly different levels of age, BMI, SBP, DBP, triglyceride, HDL-c, LDL-c, FBG, and AIx and proportions of sex, hypertension, and DM (p < 0.05 for all).  Table 2 shows the characteristics of drinkers according to the quartiles of serum ALT levels. Participants between groups had significantly different levels of BMI, SBP, DBP, HR, triglyceride, HDL-c, LDL-c, FBG, and drinking dosage and proportions of sex and DM (p < 0.05 for all). Here, GPT is linked to hypertensive disorder.
