Abstract

This study revealed that AST/ALT ratio was negatively and independently associated with prediabetes risk among Chinese participants. The relationship between the AST/ALT ratio and prediabetes risk was nonlinear, and AST/ALT ratio ≤ 1.50 was strongly inversely correlated with prediabetes risk.
