LIF and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Furthermore, patients with high LIF scores had higher BMI (LIF 3–4: 29.2 kg/m2, LIF 2–2.99: 27.1 kg/m2, LIF 1–1.99: 26 kg/m2, LIF <1: 27.1 kg/m2, p = 0.02), higher liver fat content (LIF 3–4: 17.6%, LIF 2–2.99: 7.1%, LIF 1–1.99: 8.2%, LIF <1: 3.5%, p = 0.01) and were more likely to have type 2 diabetes (LIF 3–4: 24%, LIF 2–2.99: 28%, LIF 1–1.99: 6%, LIF <1: 0%, p = 0.04).
