We included all participants who visited the hospital for voluntary health checkups.

The mean AST and ALT levels were 21.7 IU/L (SD 10.0) and 22.4 IU/L (SD 16.5), respectively, resulting in a mean AST/ALT ratio of 1.1 (0.4). During the median follow-up of 1,829 days (interquartile range 756-3,470), 1,493 (1.7%) participants developed cardiovascular disease, 831 (1%) experienced ischemic heart disease, and 723 (0.8%) experienced strokes.
