Prediction and validation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by fatty liver index in a Japanese population

In conclusion, the cutoff value of FLI for prediction of NAFLD in Japanese individuals was lower than that in the original study, and there is a significant sex difference. The simple and useful cutoff values in Japanese men and women are FLI ≥35 (non-obese/obese: 23/53) and FLI ≥16 (non-obese/obese: 11/33), respectively.PMID:34803123 | DOI:10.1507/endocrj.EJ21-0563
