by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu  朱興 國編譯 按此看中文

In middle-aged and old adults from the general population, non-alcoholic fatty liver is found to associate with risk of hypertension and high-normal systolic blood pressure. Detection of non-alcoholic, even with normal ALT levels, should serve as warning sign to modify lifestyle. [1]

在普通人群中的中年和老年人，發現非酒精性脂肪肝患者有高血壓和高至中等值收縮壓有關。如檢測到非酒精性脂肪肝，即使ALT 水平正常，應作為警示標誌而須改善生活方式。[1]
