GPT and sarcopenia: Meanwhile, in the AST/ALT subgroups, patients without sarcopenia had higher handgrip strength (P < 0.001) and muscle mass (P < 0.001) in the lower-AST/ALT group than in the higher-AST/ALT group, but in the sarcopenia cohort, no difference was found in handgrip strength (P = 0.348), but sarcopenia with low AST/ALT had higher muscle mass than high AST/ALT (P=0.001).
