Notes: Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the association between standardized adiposity indicators with NAFLD among men and women. Model 1 is crude. Model 2 is adjusted for age. Model 3 is adjusted for age, current smoking (yes, no), current drinking (yes, no), education (university or college degree, others), HbA1c, LDL-C, and hypertension (yes, no).

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio; VAI, visceral adiposity index; LAP, lipid accumulation product; RFM, relative fat mass; OR represents the odds ratio per standard deviation change in adiposity index; CI, confidence interval.
