GSTM1 and Abdominal obesity: Table 4 shows that MetS (p < 0.05), liver injury biomarkers (AST and ALT) (both p < 0.001), insulin (p < 0.05), sCD163 levels (p < 0.001), and iron-related biomarkers (free Hb and hepcidin) (both p for trend < 0.05) had positive trends with dietary pattern scores. A small positive trend between central obesity index (WC and W/H ratio) and dietary pattern scores was also found (p for trend = 0.057 and 0.068, respectively). In contrast, dietary pattern scores were negatively correlated with HDL-C (p for trend = 0.009) (Table 4).
