Correlation between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic parameters in persons with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus

Table 2 Stepwise logistic regression to identify significant factors associated with any liver disease on ultrasound

Variable	Odds ratio (95%CI)	P value
Females	3.09 (1.09-8.80)	0.034
Waist circumference	1.42 (1.22-1.66)	< 0.001
LDL cholesterol	1.01 (1.00-1.02)	0.048

Cutoff of P < 0.20 for univariable logistic regression for consideration in multivariable model; variables included in the model were age, sex, social class, income, education, sleep, high dietary consumption of different foods, symptoms, body mass index, heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, waist-to-hip ratio, hip circumference, random blood glucose, haemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and alanine aminotransferase levels. LDL: Low-density lipoprotein.
