INS and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Table 1 summarizes the demographic characteristics and biochemical measurements based on gender and NAFLD status. Notably, those with NAFLD were more likely to be older, male, obese, diabetic, and hypertensive than those without NAFLD. The patients with NAFLD had increased levels of triglycerides, fasting insulin, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, gamma glutamyl transferase, and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance score (P < 0.05).
