A better parameter in predicting insulin resistance: Obesity plus elevated alanine aminotransferase

Table 3 OR of risk factors, presented as OR (95% CI)

Model1	Model 1	Model 2	Model 3
Both obesity and elevated ALT	-	-	4.3 (2.7-6.8)
Obesity	2.52 (1.7-3.6)	3.02 (2.1-4.2 )	-
Elevated ALT	2.12 (1.4-3.0)	2.12 (1.5-2.9)	-
Metabolic syndrome	-	2.62 (1.8-3.7)	3.6 (2.6-5.0)
Abdominal obesity	1.62 (1.2-2.2)	-	-
Elevated blood pressure	1.72 (1.2-2.4)	-	-
Elevated fasting glucose	2.82 (1.8-4.4)	-	-
Elevated triglyceride	2.22 (1.6-3.1)	-	-
Hypo-HDL cholesterolemia	1.62 (1.1-2.2)	-	-
Alcohol consumption	1.2 (0.8-1.7)	1.2 (0.8-1.6)	1.2 (0.9-1.7)
Cigarette smoking	0.9 (0.7-1.2)	0.9 (0.6-1.2)	0.9 (0.6-1.2)

¹Risk factors of metabolic syndrome were regarded as five individual factor in model 1 and as a single factor in model 2; both obesity and elevated ALT were regarded as a single factor in model 3;

²Significant odds ratio (OR), adjusted for age.
