Fatty liver disease: Disparate predictive ability for cardiometabolic risk and all-cause mortality

Figure 1 Diagram depicts Kaplan-Meier plots in the whole sample for survival and (exclusive of those with diabetes/coronary heart disease) survival free of diabetes/coronary heart disease. Significantly (Log-rank < 0.001) lower survival free of diabetes and of incident CHD are noted for participants with FLD at baseline. Subjects categorized as probable FLD separated from those with no FLD in regard to CHD. However, no significant difference was elicited (Log-rank 0.53) with respect to mortality. Log-rank values were similar in the sexes. BP: Blood pressure; CHD: Coronary heart disease; FLD: Fatty liver disease.
