  1. Abbreviations: NAFLD non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, AFLD alcoholic fatty liver disease, SBP systolic blood pressure, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, DBP diastolic blood pressure, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hsCRP high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, NA not available. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation
  2. aThe P values were calculated using one-way analysis of variance, and the post hoc test was performed using the Scheffe test
  3. bThe P values were calculated using the analysis of covariance after adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking quantity per day, and weekly exercise frequency per week
  4. cThe P values were calculated using the simple contrast test
  5. dThe P values were calculated using the repeated contrast test
