In females, the results indicated that NAFLD was positively correlated with BMI, VFA, SFA, SBP, DBP, TC, LDL-c, TG, TG/HDL-c, HbA1c, FBG, ALT, AST, GGT, UA, Hb, FINS and HOMA-IR (all P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with age, duration of diabetes, HDL-c, Scr, UACR, and SPISE (all P < 0.05). Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
