The result of the two-piecewise logistic regression model for MASLD.

Incident MASLD	OR (95% CI)	p-value
Fitting model by standard logistic regression	0.46 (0.37, 0.58)	<0.0001
Fitting model by two-piecewise logistic regression
The inflection point of HDL-C	1.04 mmol/L
≤1.04 mmol/L	1.49 (0.66, 3.35)	0.3332
>1.04 mmol/L	0.39 (0.30, 0.50)	<0.0001
p for log-likelihood ratio test	0.003

This model was adjusted for age, ethanol consumption, smoking, physical activity, SBP, DBP, BMI, TC, TG, HbA1c, and FPG.
