* p for r between wSMI/hSMI/bSMI and NAFLD-liver fat score. ** p indicates p values for comparison of absolute values of r using Steiger’s Z-test. Abbreviations: wSMI, weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index; hSMI, height-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index; bSMI, body mass index-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
