Cross-sectional study assesses insulin resistance linked to obesity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, suggesting implications for obesity management.
Key Points
Obesity prevalence in NAFLD subjects reaches 81.3%, indicating a strong correlation with insulin resistance.
NAFLD patients show a significantly higher BMI of 26.60 kg/m2, compared to non-NAFLD subjects' 21.15 kg/m2.
Assessment using anthropometric indices demonstrates that waist circumference and waist-hip ratio are crucial in predicting insulin resistance.
Findings may suggest actionable strategies for monitoring metabolic health in obese patients with NAFLD.
