A community-based study on the application of fatty liver index in screening subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

CONCLUSION: FLI could be a tool to select subjects for abdominal US in a large community survey. The cut-off point of FLI might be set to 10 for female and 20 for male subjects, to increase the sensitivity for selecting subjects to receive abdominal US.
