| Parameter | No NAFL (n = 104) | NAFL (n = 53) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impaired fasting glucose | 16 (16.6%) | 11 (20.7%) | 0.502 |
| Hypertension or blood pressure >130/85 mm Hg | 1 (0.9%) | 1 (1.8%) | 1.000 |
| Triglycerides >150 mg/dl | 13 (12.5%) | 16 (30.1%) | 0.009 |
| High-density lipoprotein <40 (males) or <50 (females) mg/dl | 55 (52.8%) | 34 (64.1%) | 0.233 |
| Presence of 2 or more metabolic risk factors | 16 (15.3%) | 18 (33.9%) | 0.013 |
