Is remnant cholesterol associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the general population?
Remnant cholesterol is independently associated with NAFLD and may serve as a better predictor than traditional lipid parameters, particularly in men.
The results obtained from this study indicate that (1) in the general population, RC is independently associated with NAFLD but not with other risk factors. (2) Compared with traditional lipid parameters, RC has a better predictive ability for NAFLD in men.
Zou et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
