Abstract
The controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) measurement obtained from FibroScan[sup.®] is a low-risk method of assessing fatty liver. This study investigated the association between the FibroScan[sup.®] CAP values and nine anthropometric indicators, including the abdominal volume index (AVI), body fat percentage (BFP), body mass index (BMI), conicity index (CI), ponderal index (PI), relative fat mass (RFM), waist circumference (WC), waist–hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver). We analyzed the medical records of adult patients who had FibroScan[sup.®] CAP results. CAP values
