Furthermore, multivariable binary logistic regression analysis found the “risk-allele” model associated with NAS ≥ 5 and advanced fibrosis (F ≥ 3) independent of gender, diabetes and ALT (for NAS ≥ 5) and age and diabetes (for F ≥ 3) also in an “allele dose”-dependent manner (refer to Tables 1D and 2D for adjusted ORs). Here, GPT is linked to diabetes mellitus.
