  1. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median and (interquartile range). BMI: Body mass index; WC: waist circumference; TC: Total cholesterol; LDL-C: Low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: High density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: Triglycerides; AST; aspartate amino transferase; ALT: alanine amino transferase; GGT: gamma glutamyl transferase; LS: liver stiffness; cIMT: Carotid artery intima-media thickness. Independent Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to determine the differences of variables between two groups. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
