Evaluating the relative importance of different blood pressure indices in screening for NAFLD: a survey report based on a health examination population

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Following the Z-transformation of the independent variables, we evaluated the relationships between the four blood pressure indices and NAFLD through multivariable logistic regression models. This finding was confirmed in populations without exercise habits, under 60 years of age, with normal blood pressure, and in non-obese groups.
