Results: The mean AST was 57.37 ± 21.8 and 78.3% of the study participants had elevated AST.The mean ALT was 58.97 ± 21.77 and 90% of the study participants had elevated ALT. 41 out of 60 study participants had both AST and ALP elevated. Conclusion: Levels of serum AST and ALT showed a significant association with both abdominal and general obesity.
