Implication

WHtR thresholds may refine adult NAFLD risk assessment; cross-sectional data leave causality and clinical adoption open.

Structured PICO

Is waist-to-height ratio associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adults?

P
Population
Adults
I
Intervention
Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as an exposure
O
Outcome
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

Waist-to-height ratio has a non-linear association with NAFLD in adults, exhibiting threshold and saturation effects.
