Figure 1 (A) Age/gender-adjusted odds ratios of diabetes by gender-specific tertiles of ALT (tertile 1, light gray bars; tertile 2, medium gray bars, tertile 3, dark gray bars) and by clinical BMI categories (normal weight [BMI <25], overweight [BMI 25–29.9], obese [BMI 30+]) over 20 years of follow-up. Ranges for ALT tertiles were as follows (U/L): men: 1–21, 22–32, 33–104; women: 2–15,16–22, 23–118. (B) Age/gender-adjusted odds ratio of MetS by gender-specific tertiles of ALT and by clinical BMI categories (normal weight [BMI <25], overweight [BMI 25–29.9], obese [BMI 30+]) over 20 years of follow-up. Ranges for ALT tertiles were as follows (U/L): men: 1–21, 22–32, 33–104, women: 2–15, 16–22, 23–118.
