Hepatic Fat Content and Liver Enzymes Are Associated with Circulating Free and Protein-Bound Advanced Glycation End Products, Which Are Associated with Low-Grade Inflammation: The CODAM Study

Table 3

Associations of liver fat and liver enzymes with low-grade inflammation.

Outcome	Model	eLF% (%)				Liver enzyme score
		β	95% CI		value	β	95% CI		value
LGI	1	0.494	0.387	0.601	<0.001	0.310	0.226	0.393	<0.001
	2	0.493	0.386	0.599	<0.001	0.347	0.262	0.431	<0.001
	3	0.533	0.415	0.650	<0.001	0.356	0.270	0.442	<0.001
	4	0.429	0.290	0.568	<0.001	0.292	0.205	0.380	<0.001

β-Values are unstandardized regression coefficients and represent the change in the LGI score per one unit increase in eLF% (ln-transformed) or LE score. Model 1: crude model. Model 2: model for age and sex. Model 3: model for alcohol, smoking, CVD, medication, and eGFR. Model 4: model for BMI. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval.
