BACKGROUND: Mechanisms linking liver functions with cardiometabolic risk may involve insulin resistance (IR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We assessed the associations of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels with IR and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in an adult South African urban cohort.
METHODS: 1198 participants aged >15 years (297 men) were drawn from the Bellville-South suburb (Cape Town). The homeostatic model assessment of insulin (HOMA-IR), β-cells function (HOMA-B%), fasting insulin resistance index (FIRI) and the quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were calculated, and MetS defined according to the Join Interim Statement 2009 criteria. Associations of GGT levels with covariates were assessed on a continuous scale and across sex-specific quarters of GGT, with adjustment for confounders via generalized linear and logistic regressions.
RESULTS: Indicators of IR (HOMA-IR, FIRI and fasting insulin) increased, whereas those for insulin sensitivity (Sib and QUICKI) diminished significantly linearly and across increasing GGT quarters. In multivariable-adjusted models, adjustment for sex, age, BMI, cigarette smoking and alcohol intake yielded the strongest, significant associations between GGT and all markers of IR/IS and glycemia excluding glucose insulin ratio. In a similar level of adjustments, with/without further adjustment for markers of IR/insulin sensitivity, the prevalence of MetS significantly increased across quarters of GGT.
CONCLUSIONS: GGT levels were independently associated with insulin sensitivity and MetS in this population. Unaccounted, chronic elevation of GGT may therefore be a cue to screen and monitor individuals for MetS and diabetes, and may warrant consideration as an indicator of high risk for the development of these metabolic disorders.
