BMI-Standard deviation score	2.20 (2.02-2.30)^a	2.01 (1.92-2.17)
Waist circumference, cm	96.9 (91.8-102.1)^b	85.2 (80.3-89.0)
Systolic BP, mmHg	117 (112-122)^b	107 (105-109)
Diastolic BP, mmHg	70 (67-74)^b	68 (65-70)

Hepatic fat fraction, %	19.0 (15.1-27.4)^c	2.0 (1.3-2.5)

Results are expressed as n (%), mean (95% CI), or geometric mean (95% CI) for log-transformed variables.
