In addition, the multivariable- adjusted ORs for hypertension were 1, 1.22 (1.21, 1.22), 1.67 (1.65, 1.68), 1.78 (1.76, 1.80), and 1.92 (1.90, 1.94) in participants with ALT levels of ≤ 20, 20.01–40, 40.01–60, 60.01–80, and > 80 U/L, respectively (t = 192.02, P for trend < 0.001) (Table 2). Here, GPT is linked to hypertensive disorder.
