  1. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; OR: odds ratios; CI: confidence interval
  2. Model I: Adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, area, education, body mass index, average salt consumption, history of diabetes, overall pressure and hepatitis B surface antigen status
  3. Model II: add fasting blood glucose concentration as a new covariate based on Model I
  4. †P for trend were calculated by setting categorized ALT levels as a continuous variable
