Research Article: Association between fatty liver index and cardiometabolic multimorbidity: evidence from the cross-sectional national health and nutrition examination survey
Abstract:
Background: Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) contributes to the cardiometabolic diseases through multiple mechanisms. Fatty liver index (FLI) has been formulated as a non-invasive, convenient, and cost-effective approach to estimate the degree of MASLD. The current study aims to evaluate the correlation between FLI and the prevalent cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), and to assess the usefulness of FLI to improve the detection of the prevalent CMM in the general population.
