متن کاملAnthropometric Indices in Adults: Which Is the Best Indicator to Identify Alanine Aminotransferase Levels?
BACKGROUND To evaluate the correlations between serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and anthropometric indices including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and a new body index, the A Body Shape Index (ABSI) in Chinese adults. METHODS A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in rura...
