Correlation between indices of fatty liver steatosis with anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal parameters in PCOS group.

PCOS (n = 57)
FLI LAP VAI
Percentage of body fat r = 0.8, P < 0.01 r = 0.51, P < 0.01 r = 0.3, P = 0.03
HOMA-IR r = 0.42, P = 0.01 r = 0.41, P = 0.001 r = 0.38, P = 0.004
HDL cholesterol r = −0.33, P = 0.01 r = −0.33, P = 0.01 NE
FAI r = 0.51, P < 0.01 r = 0.39, P = 0.002 r = 0.31, P = 0.01

Data are derived from Spearman’s rank correlation. The level of significance was accepted at P < 0.05.

FAI, free androgen index; FLI, fatty liver index; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; LAP, lipid accumulation product; NE, not estimated; PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome; VAI, visceral adiposity index.
