Abbreviations: NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; CARDIA, Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LV, left ventricle; HF, heart failure; BMI, body mass index; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; OR, odds ratio; 95%CI, 95% confidence interval

NAFLD is defined as CT liver attenuation ≤ 40 HU

a

adjusted for center only

b

base model: adjusted for model 1 + age, race, sex, study center, education, income level, alcohol intake (drinks/week), smoking status (current/former vs. never), physical activity score

c

HF risk factors: systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, anti-hyperlipidemic medication use, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, diabetes status, GFR Abnormal diastolic relaxation was defined as lateral tissue doppler e’ velocity < 10. Abnormal diastolic filling pressures were defined as 8 < E/e’ ratio < 12 and left atrial volume index ≥ 34 or E/e’ ratio ≥ 12
