Contrary to popular belief, researchers have found a startling correlation between elevated levels of good cholesterol (HDL-C) and an increased risk of dementia in older people.
Investigators suggested an ALT/HDL-C ratio of 15.97 as a screening threshold for identifying NAFLD, noting its increased effectiveness compared to ALT, HDL-C, the aspartate aminotransferase to HDL-C ratio, and the gamma-glutamyl transferase to HDL-C ratio.
