In multiple regression models to predict HbA1c or G120, age, BMI and NAFL/NASH were not selected as significant contributors by stepwise examination, but indices of insulin secretion (loge-IGI or loge-DIo) and indices of insulin sensitivity (QUICKI or loge-Matsuda index) were significant determinants (Table 6). Here, INS is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
