However, no study has investigated whether the HWP can accurately predict NAFLD among premenopausal and postmenopausal women or whether alternative anthropometric indexes could replace waist circumference (WC) in the HWP. We examined the power of phenotypes combining triglyceride (TG) levels with anthropometric indexes such as body mass index (BMI), WC, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, and percent body fat, to detect NAFLD among premenopausal and postmenopausal women.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1125 premenopausal women and 654 postmenopausal women who had received an annual health checkup. For all the participating women, we measured both anthropometric and biochemical indexes, such as serum lipid levels. NAFLD diagnoses were made on the basis of abdominal ultrasonography findings. The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the indicators’ ability to detect NAFLD.Results: Among the indicators of hepatic steatosis, the combined phenotypes of TG level (≥ 1.50 mmol/L) and BMI (≥ 24.0 kg/m2) exhibited the largest AUC (0.841, 95%confidence interval [CI] 0.812– 0.871, P< 0.001) for premenopausal women, whereas WC alone exhibited the highest predictive potential (0.765, 95% CI 0.729– 0.801, P< 0.001) for postmenopausal women.Conclusion: Out of all the phenotypes combining a single anthropometric index with TG level or WC and TG level, the combination of TG level and BMI was the best indicator of NAFLD for premenopausal women. For screening NAFLD in postmenopausal women, WC alone was superior to all other indicators.Keywords: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatic steatosis, anthropometric index, hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype, menopauseLiu PJLou HPZhu YNDove Medical Pressarticlenonalcoholic fatty liver diseasehepatic steatosisanthropometric indexhypertriglyceridemic waist phenotypemenopauseSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1339-1347 (2021)
