Nonlinear relationship between body fat percentage and NAFLD mediated by METS-IR: threshold effects and subgroup differences

Abstract The mechanism linking body fat percentage (BFR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. This study investigated whether the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) mediates this relationship and examined threshold effects and population heterogeneity. In this...
