Table 2. AUCs and cutoff values of ROC curves for prediction of hepatic steatosis and prediction of central obesity by fetuin A, chemerin levels, WC, WHR and WHtR.

Central obesity | ||||||
WC >90 cm in malesand >80 cm in females | AUC | 0.52±0.04 (0.45∼0.57)* | 0.65±0.04 (0.58∼0.69)* | − | − | − |
Cutofflevel | 0.63 g/L 53.3/50.5% | 670 ng/ml 58.1/56.3% | − | − | − |
Note: Values expressed as AUC ± SE (95% confidence interval) and cutoff level, sensitivity/specificity.
Abbreviations: AUC, area under curve; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR: waist-to-height ratio.
AUC of chemerin was greater than that of fetuin A (P = 0.02), which was estimated by means of nonparametric statistical analysis (DeLong test).
