Prediction of Liver Steatosis and Fibrosis Based on Clinical Variables Using a Large National Survey Database by Yanal Alnimer, Touleen Alnimer

“…Results. 32% of our population had evidence of liver steatosis using 294 dB/m as a cutoff. An increase in age, serum triglyceride, and body mass index were associated with a statistically significant increase in liver steatosis; in contrast, females had statistically significantly lower values for liver steatosis by 15 points in the multivariable linear regression model. …”
