CRP and Hepatic steatosis: The multivariate analysis showed that age (β = 0.357, p = 0.021), BMI (β = 0.185, p = 0.048), disease duration (β = 0.297, p = 0.041), CRP (β = 0.321, p = 0.013), fasting plasma glucose (β = 0.269, p = 0.038), the presence of T2DM (β = 0.215, p = 0.033), and triglycerides (β = 0.273, p = 0.023) were strongly associated with hepatic steatosis.
