In recent years, numerous studies have shown a strong correlation between elevated serum ALT levels and metabolic dysfunction, particularly in glucose metabolism (26)(27)(28). It has been found that ALT is positively associated with the risk of diabetes in both young and middle-aged to older populations (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). ...
