After adjusting for race, gender, age, diabetes, BMI, moderate activities, uric acid, albumin, ALT, GGT, ALP, total bilirubin and creatinine, multiple logistic regression analysis indicated a positive correlation between GHR and the prevalence of NAFLD (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.17–1.28). Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
