Cutoff points of abdominal obesity indices in screening for non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease in Asians

Background/aims: Abdominal obesity is associated with metabolic syndrome and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although there have been many studies to determine the optimal cutoff points of waist circumference or visceral fat area in screening for metabolic syndrome, there have been no reports to establish adequate cutoff points of abdominal obesity indices in screening for NAFLD. Therefore, we examined the appropriate cutoff points of abdominal obesity indices associated with NAFLD in Korean men and women using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Furthermore, we compared the usefulness of various abdominal obesity indices measured using computed tomography (CT), dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) and anthropometric parameters for detecting NAFLD.
