Correlation of abdominal adiposity indicators (vat and sat) with quetelet index and severity grades of hepatic steatosis by ultrasound and utility of these indicators as noninvasive parameters to detect strategic liver disease

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aims of this study are to correlate abdominal adiposity indicators specifically visceral adipose tissue (VAT) thickness and adipose tissue (SAT) thickness with body mass index (BMI) and fatty liver disease (FLD) grades using ultrasound and to evaluate the diagnostic ability of the parameter "VAT thickness of 3 cm or above" in detecting hepatic steatosis. The authors aim to develop a cut-off measurement for these adiposity indicators, measured by ultrasound, to detect FLD, offering a potential noninvasive alternative to liver biopsy . The authors demonstrated that ultrasonography is a quick and reliable method for measuring adiposity . . .
