Association between aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine aminotransferase ratio and insulin resistance among US adults

Objective To determine whether a low aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio (AST/ALT ratio) is associated with insulin resistance among those without liver dysfunction. Methods In this cross-sectional study of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2016, we included 2747 (1434 male and 1313 nonpregnant female) adults ≥20 years without evidence of liver dysfunction (ALT
