Ultrasonographically Detected Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is an Independent Predictor for Identifying Patients With Insulin Resistance in Non-Obese, Non-Diabetic Middle-Aged Asian Adults

Abstract

US-NAFLD was an independent predictor for IR, irrespective of the number of metabolic components of MetS in the non-obese, non-diabetic middle-aged Asian adults. US-NAFLD could identify individuals with IR that cannot be identified by MetS in this population.
