On multivariate regression analysis, NAFLD was significantly and independently correlated with BMI (Standardized β = 0.32, P < 0.05), energy intake (Standardized β = 0.31, P < 0.05), TG level (Standardized β = 0.25, P < 0.05) and adiponectin level (Standardized β = −0.23, P < 0.05) (Table 2). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
