Do body fat-related indexes accurately predict MAFLD across different sexes, ages, and BMI levels?
Body fat-related indexes such as FLI, LAP, and HSI are simple and cost-effective tools with high predictive value for screening MAFLD.
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.
