Through univariate and multivariate analysis (adjusted for sex, age, Cr, UA, FPG, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, height, BMI, ALP, GGT, ALT, AST, ALB, GLB, DBIL, SBP, and DBP), the variables associated with the risk of NAFLD were determined (Table 2). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
