Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how liver enzyme levels relate to metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in older adults, filling a knowledge gap in this demographic.
- It analyzed data from 1,444 seniors and found that higher levels of enzymes like ALT, GGT, and ALP were linked to increased odds of having MetS, while AST showed no significant association.
- The results suggest that monitoring certain liver enzymes could help assess MetS risk in the elderly.
