LFS = 22.89 + 1.18 × metabolic syndrome + 0.45 × diabetes + 0.15 × fasting insulin + 0.04 × AST (IU/l) + 0.94 × AST/ALT ratio. OLD is defined as FEV1/FVC ratio <0.7.

Abbreviations: OLD, obstructive lung disease; BMI, Body Mass Index; PYRs, pack years; FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; LFS, liver fat score; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; CI, confidence interval.
