  • Independent variables included were variables which showed significant associations with AST and ALT shown in table 1. Common independent variables for AST and ALT: ASMI, triglycerides, apoAI, HDL cholesterol and resting pulse rate. Serum leptin was also included for AST.

  • ALT, alanine aminotransferase;   ASMI, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index;  AST ,  aspartate aminotransferase ;  FMI,  fat mass index.
