Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients (r) between FIB-4 and clinical/biochemical parameters are presented. BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; SUA, serum uric acid; Cr, creatinine; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GGT, glutamyl transpeptidase; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
