Table 4 Synergistic effect of obesity and elevated ALT on insulin resistance¹

	OR	(95% CI)	SI	95% CI
Neither obesity nor elevated ALT	1.0	Reference	No risk	-
Obesity only	2.3	(1.5-3.5)	One risk only	-
Elevated ALT only	1.8	(1.1-2.9)	One risk only	-
Obesity plus elevated ALT	5.5	(3.2-9.3)	2.1	(1.01-4.3)

¹Insulin resistance is defined as the 4th quartile of the HOMA_IR.

SI: Synergistic index.
