Note 1: (1) sensitivity-1: subjects with a follow-up of less than 3 years were excluded (n = 11,237); (2) sensitivity-2: subjects diagnosed with fatty liver at baseline were excluded. (n = 12,823); (3) sensitivity-3: excluding subjects whose SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg (n = 14,878);

Note 2: sensitivity-1 adjusted for sex, age, BMI, habits of exercise, drinking status, smoking status, fatty liver, SBP, FPG, HbA1c, height, ALT, AST and GGT. Sensitivity-2 adjusted for sex, age, BMI, habits of exercise, drinking status, smoking status, SBP, FPG, HbA1c, height, ALT, AST and GGT. Sensitivity-3 adjusted for sex, age, BMI, habits of exercise, drinking status, smoking status, fatty liver, FPG, HbA1c, height, ALT, AST and GGT
