Table 2.
Hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for the incident of stroke according to the FLI groups.
| FLI | p-Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <30 (n = 4550) | 30–59.9 (n = 2229) | ≥60 (n = 1185) | ||
| Incident stroke case ( n , %) | 76 (1.67) | 56 (2.51) | 36 (3.03) | 0.0004 |
| Crude Hazard ratio | 1.00 | 1.53 (1.08–2.16) | 1.92 (1.29–2.85) | 0.0025 |
| Model 1 | 1.00 | 1.31 (0.92–1.86) | 1.64 (1.10–2.46) | <0.001 |
| Model 2 | 1.00 | 1.42 (0.95–2.14) | 1.97 (1.17–3.32) | <0.001 |
| Model 3 | 1.00 | 1.41 (0.94–2.21) | 1.98 (1.17–3.34) | <0.001 |
Model 1: sex, age. Model 2: model 1 + hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, smoking and alcohol status, and body mass index. Model 3: model 2 + metabolic equivalent of task, cancer, hyperlipidemia drug, and antihypertension drug. Estimated from Cox’s proportional hazard regression model. FLI: fatty liver index.
