Serum Glycocholic Acid-to-Total Bile Acid Ratio Is Independently Associated with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

Table 3

GCA-to-TBA ratio was independently associated with NAFLD in both male and female individuals.

Parameters	Male			Female
	OR	95% CI		OR	95% CI
GCA-to-TBA ratio	0.85	0.73-0.99	0.042	0.73	0.58-0.92
Age	1.01	1.00-1.02		1.04	1.03-1.05
BMI	1.51	1.46-1.56		1.64	1.56-1.72
Diabetes (with vs. without)	1.62	1.17-2.27		2.11	1.03-4.47	0.046
Hypertension (with vs. without)	0.96	0.81-1.14	0.667	0.64	0.47-0.86
Metabolic syndrome (with vs. without)	2.22	1.77-2.78		3.60	2.48-5.27

NAFLD: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; TBA: total bile acids; GCA: glycocholic acid; BMI: body mass index; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
