Some factors influenced on the serum transaminase level in a population. Part II

Statistical analysis on some factors related to serum transaminase level

Abstract

Some factors related to serum transaminase level in the Toshi-Island population study were discussed. Statistical analysis was done by computer on eight to eleven items, such as drinking, HBs-antigen, past history of hepatic disease.
The results were following.
1) GOT had significant correlation with the history of alcohol intake, HBs-antigen and history of hepatic disease (p≤0.01).
2) GPT had significant correlation with HBs-antigen (p≤0.01).
3) Multiple regression analysis of GOT and GPT using eight independent variables strongly suggested that serum transaminase level had significant correlation with sex, age, drinking, history of liver disease and HBs-antigen.
