No significant differences were seen between the case and control groups except that subjects with NAFLD had a higher BMI and weight (p <0.001), higher levels of FBS, TG, LDL, TC, and ALT compared with the control group (p <0.05), and lower HDL and physical activity levels compared with the control group (p <0.05). Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
