Relationship between anthropometric measures and the risk of incident Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) are considered useful for the diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This study aimed to investigate the association between the body roundness index (BRI) and a body shape index (ABSI) with incident MASLD, in comparison to WC and BMI.

Methods

Retrospective cohort data from a Japanese health check-up program were analyzed. Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the associations between anthropometric measure quartiles and MASLD, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between anthropometric measures and incident MASLD, stratified by sex.

Results

A total of 10,561 males and 7,187 females were included, of
