Also comparably, those with NAFLD (N = 506) tended to be older (30.0 vs 27.5 years, p < 0.001), more males (58.0% vs 46.5%, p = 0.016) than females, had significantly higher BMI (34.1 vs 25.5 kg/m2, p < 0.001), Hispanics (29.0% vs 17.7%, p = 0.001), former smokers (22.4 vs 14.8, p = 0.054), had higher AST (23.9 vs 20.6 IU/L, p = 0.018) and ALT (31.1 vs 19.2, p ≤ 0.001), lower albumin (4.1 vs 4.2 g/dL, p = 0.02), higher platelet counts (265.5 vs 245.4 103 cells/uL, p < 0.001) and higher HbA1C (5.4% vs 5.2%, p < 0.001). Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
