Comparison of obesity-related indices for identifying nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a population-based cross-sectional study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and obesity-related indices has been analyzed separately thus far, and evidence comparing these indices together is still lacking, especially in China.
