Relationship of key baseline characteristics to presence of liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus–associated nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A and B, In the overall sample, baseline NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) was higher in individuals with vs without baseline hepatic fibrosis (3.6 ± 2.0 vs 2.0 ± 0.8; P < .0001). Meanwhile, no difference was found between groups in baseline liver fat content. C and D, Baseline visceral fat content was higher in individuals with vs without baseline hepatic fibrosis (284 ± 91 cm² vs 212 ± 95 cm²; P = .005), whereas there was no difference in baseline body mass index (BMI) between groups. Error bars denote mean ± standard deviation.
