Figure 2 The patients were stratified according to age, hemoglobin level, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and the association with fatty liver was assessed.
A: The prevalence of fatty liver significantly decreased with age (P < 0.001); B: The prevalence of fatty liver significantly increased as hemoglobin increased (P < 0.001); C: The prevalence of fatty liver was significantly higher in patients with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of < 70 mg/dL (29.9%) than those with HDL cholesterol ≥ 70 mg/dL (13.8%) (P = 0.012). HDL: High-density lipoprotein
