Values are odds ratio (95% confidence interval). The fully adjusted model was adjusted for age, educational level, household income, smoking, alcohol consumption, hand-grip strength, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and nutrition

Abbreviations: MHNW metabolically healthy, normal weight, MONW metabolically obese, normal weight, NAFLD non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
