Association between the NHHR and hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with dyslipidemia, and the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is a more comprehensive indicator of lipids. This study aimed to investigate the association between NHHR and hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis. The 2017-2020 national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES) dataset was used for the cross-sectional survey. NHHR was calculated by lipid profiling, and the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) were determined by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE). Multiple linear regression models were used to test the linear association between NHHR and hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis. Fitted smoothing cu
