Model 1 is unadjusted model. Model 2 is Model 1 adjusted for sex and age. Model 3 is Model 2 adjust for body mass index. Statistical significance:

^aP < 0.001. β: Standardized coefficient; SE: Estimated error; R²: Correction coefficient; LFC: Liver fat content; HbA1c: Glycosylated hemoglobin; Tri: Triglyceride; BMI: Body mass index; WC: Waist circumference; W/H ratio: Waist-to-hip ratio.
