Data were presented by ORs (95% CIs). *Total adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, income, physical activity, diabetes, hypertension, WHR, TG, and HDL-C; ^†Gender subgroup adjusted for age, smoking status, income, physical activity, diabetes, hypertension, WHR, TG, and HDL-C; ^‡Age subgroup adjusted for gender, smoking status, income, physical activity, diabetes, hypertension, WHR, TG, and HDL-C. NAFLD: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; WHR: Waist-hip ratio; TG: Triglyceride; HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; CIs: Confidence intervals; ORs: Odds ratios.
