Fig. 1Comparison of body composition indexes according to fatty liver disease (FLI). (A) Visceral fat area (VFA) was increased in higher FLI group compared with the low FLI group (FLI <20). (B) Skeletal muscle index (SMI) and (C) skeletal muscle to visceral fat ratio (SVR) were decreased in both the high FLI group (FLI ≥60) and the intermediated group (20≤FLI<60). aP<0.05; all variables were showed P<0.05, for trend in analysis of variance analysis.
