Panels for hepatic steatosis

Panels	Equations	Cutoff	Diagnostic tools (cohort)	Validated in Korean population
Fatty liver index (FLI) [126]	= (e 0.953×loge (triglycerides) + 0.139*BMI + 0.718×loge (GGT) + 0.053×waist circumference - 15.745) / (1 + e 0.953×loge (triglycerides) + 0.139×BMI + 0.718×loge (GGT) + 0.053×waist circumference - 15.745) × 100	≥60, <30	Ultrasonography (Italy)	Yes
NAFLD liver fat score (NLFS) [129]	= -2.89 + 1.18 × metabolic syndrome (yes = 1/no = 0) + 0.45 × diabetes (yes = 2/no = 0) + 0.15 × (fasting insulin, μU/L) + 0.04 × AST + 0.94 × AST/ALT ratio	>-0.64	MRS (Finland)	Yes
Hepatic steatosis index (HSI) [131]	= 8 × ALT/AST + BMI (+2, if diabetes; +2, if female)	≥36, <30	Ultrasonography (Korea)	Yes

BMI, body mass index; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase.
