Relationship between alanine aminotransferase levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the general Chinese population
在普通中国人群中丙氨酸氨基转移酶水平与2型糖尿病之间的关系
Abstract
Highlights
- The present large-scale study of rural participants aged ≥35 years in the general Chinese population showed that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increased with increments in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations and that increased ALT concentrations were significantly associated with the risk of T2DM.
- Concentrations of ALT >40 U/L were significantly associated with the increased prevalence of T2DM in addition to hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension.
