As illustrated in Fig.1, the prevalence of NAFLD increased progressively with increasing SUA quartiles (15.7% in Q1, 31.2% in Q2, 42.4% in Q3 and 59.8% in Q4; Ptrend < 0.001), ALT quartiles (12.6% in Q1, 27.0% in Q2, 45.9% in Q3 and 64.5% in Q4; Ptrend < 0.001), and WC quartiles (6.9% in Q1, 23.8% in Q2, 42.9% in Q3 and 71.3% in Q4; Ptrend < 0.001), respectively. Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
