The associations between the concentrations of glucose and lipids and ALT levels. A, D, G and J, the association trends were first explored by plotting the quantiles of ALT levels (left vertical axis) against the glucose and lipid concentrations in 5% equal intervals (horizontal axis) by sex; shadows indicate the number of subjects in each 5% interval stratification (right vertical axis). B, E, H and K, UQLRA; the estimated coefficients (vertical axis) for the concentrations of non-HDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides and glucose in association with ALT levels derived from quantile regressions are plotted against the quantiles of ALT levels (horizontal axis). C, F, I and L, multivariate linear quantile regression analysis. In the male-adjusted models, age, current smoking status, NAFLD status, obesity status and non-HLD-C, HDL-C, or triglyceride concentrations were entered into the covariable group; in the female-adjusted models, age, NAFLD status, obesity status and non-HLD-C, HDL-C, or triglyceride concentrations were entered into the covariable group
