Data are presented as the or (%). Nonnormally distributed data are presented as the median (interquartile range (IQR)). The TG, CRP, ALT, AST, GGT, and AFP data were ln-transformed before analysis. value indicates the comparison of male vs. female using independent-sample -test for continuous variables and using Chi-squared test for categorical variables and SNP distribution frequencies.
