[Correlation of body mass index and aminotransferase activity in healthy adolescents]

The objective of this study to consolidate the correlation between BMI with the values of ALT and AST of the healthy adolescents in age of 18, 19 and 20 years. To the group of 237 examinees of the healthy adolescents is determined BMI, and is measured the activity of ALT and AST. In the sample of the examinees we had 22% examinees had the increased BMI > or = 25. The examinees who had the increased BMI (> or = 25), had the significant increased values ALT, and only mildly increased values AST in relation to the upper referent values. On the basis of the simple linear regression was confirmed the positive correlation between the of body mass indexes and activities ALT i AST.
