Fatty liver index as a predictor for type 2 diabetes in subjects with normoglycemia in a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Our aim was to evaluate whether fatty liver index (FLI) is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) development within the Spanish adult population and according to their prediabetes status; additionally, to examine its incremental predictive value regarding traditional risk factors.
