The univariable and multivariable models for LSMs (kPa) and the CAP (dB/m) for the NHANES 2017–2020 Hispanic population with complete VCTE examinations *.
| Univariable Coeff. (95% CI) a |
p-Value | Model 1 b Coeff. (95% CI) |
p-Value | Model 2 c Coeff. (95% CI) |
p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LSM | −0.1 (−0.4–0.3) | 0.6 | −0.4 (−0.8–−0.0) | 0.03 | −0.4 (−0.8–−0.0) | 0.04 |
| Log-transformed LSM | 0.0 (−0.0–0.0) | 0.9 | −0.0 (−0.1–0.0) | 0.07 | −0.0 (−0.1–0.0) | 0.08 |
| LSM Categories (OR) | 1.1 (0.8–1.6) | 0.6 | 0.9 (0.6–1.5) | 0.7 | 1.0 (0.6–1.5) | 0.8 |
| CAP | 10.9 (5.5–16.4) | <0.001 | 11.4 (5.8–16.9) | <0.001 | 11.3 (5.8–16.9) | <0.001 |
| Log-transformed CAP | 0.0 (0.0–0.1) | <0.001 | 0.1 (0.0–0.1) | <0.001 | 0.1 (0.0–0.1) | <0.001 |
| CAP Categories (OR) | 1.4 (1.1–1.7) | 0.002 | 1.7 (1.3–2.2) | <0.001 | 1.7 (1.3–2.1) | <0.001 |
* All coefficients are rounded to the nearest decimal. a Coefficients are calculated by linear regression for LSMs (kPa) and the CAP (dB/m), and Odds Ratios (OR) by ordinal logistic regression for stiffness categories (kPa) with <9.7 kPa as a reference group and steatosis categories (dB/m) with <297 dB/m as a reference group. b Model 1 is adjusted for age, sex, income, BMI, type 2 diabetes, physical activity, and education level; c Model 2 is adjusted for Model 1 and food security.
