The standardized path coefficients in the path diagrams indicate that increased serum uric acid levels might increase fasting insulin, blood pressure, triglyceride and decrease HDL-C, with the corresponding standardized regression coefficients of 0.07, 0.14, 0.12 and −0.19 (all p-values < 0.05), which in turn induce NAFLD. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
