Structured PICO

Do body fat-related indexes accurately predict MAFLD across different sexes, ages, and BMI levels?

Population

People of different sexes, ages, and BMI levels being screened for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD)

Intervention

Multiple body fat indexes (including Fatty Liver Index [FLI], Lipid Accumulation Product [LAP], and Hepatic Steatosis Index [HSI])

Outcome

Accuracy in predicting MAFLD

Body fat-related indexes such as FLI, LAP, and HSI are simple and cost-effective tools with high predictive value for screening MAFLD.

Abstract

Our study confirmed the accuracy of body fat-related indexes in predicting MAFLD in people of different sexes, ages, and BMI levels. Among them, FLI, LAP and HSI have high predictive value and can be utilized as simple and cost-effective tools for screening MAFLD in clinical settings.
