  1. Abbreviations: BMI Body mass index, ALT Alanine aminotransferase, AST Aspartate aminotransferase, GGT Gamma-glutamyl transferase, HDL-C High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC Total cholesterol, TG Triglyceride, HbA1c Hemoglobin A1c, FPG Fasting plasma glucose, SBP Systolic blood pressure, DBP Diastolic blood pressure, NAFLD Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NTNW Normal TG and WC, ETNW Elevated TG and normal WC, NTEW Normal TG and enlarged WC, HTGW Hypertriglyceridemic-waist
  2. Values were expressed as mean (SD) or medians (quartile interval) or n (%)
  3. Since there are significant differences between almost all groups after pairwise comparison, it is difficult to mark all the groups with differences in the table. Therefore, in Table 2, we only marked the values that showed no significant difference after pairwise comparison
  4. *P > 0.05 vs ETNW, **P > 0.05 vs NTNW, #P > 0.05 vs ETNW, ##P > 0.05 vs NTEW. Other variables with no special mark on the upper right corner had P values < 0.05 after pair-wise comparison
