Finally, for FLI ( Table 11 ), AL was highly significant and positively associated ( p < 0.001) while alcohol consumption was inversely associated with FLI.
Finally, for FLI ( Table 11 ), AL was highly significant and positively associated ( p < 0.001) while alcohol consumption was inversely associated with FLI.
CDEs at different quantiles (10%, 50%, 75%): The controlled direct effect shows a slight downward trend and a negative trend across the AL quantiles for both age groups.
Alcohol did not reach statistical significance for most liver enzymes but was negatively associated with FLI, which contradicts conventional assumptions.
Furthermore, AL showed a near-significant association with ALP and total bilirubin, suggesting potential links to bile duct stress or hepatic excretory function.
Left Plot: 30th percentile of Age (mid-age group) Effect Estimates: The effect estimates show a decreasing trend as the exposure quantiles increase, moving from positive and then falling to zero as it approaches the mid quantile, and slightly increasing as the quantiles increase.
On the other hand, for ALP, both smoking ( p < 0.01) and age ( p < 0.01) were positively associated, while alcohol consumption and AL were not statistically significant but approached significance.
For ALT, lead showed a marginally significant positive association, suggesting a potential link between lead exposure and liver stress.
