- The study investigates perinatal and lifestyle factors linked to childhood ALT levels as an early marker for MASLD.
- Higher waist-to-height ratio and visceral adiposity in late childhood were positively associated with ALT levels.
- Maternal hypertension, offspring protein intake, amino acid levels, and cardiometabolic risk factors correlate with elevated ALT.
- Findings highlight the importance of pre- and postnatal influences on liver health, though associations are modest.
