Phase angles at a frequency of 50 kHz in the study participants.

	Total (N = 953)	Non-NAFLD (N = 271)	NAFLD (N = 682)	value
Right arm	5.10 ± 0.64	5.07 ± 0.60	5.11 ± 0.66	0.36
Left arm	4.94 ± 0.64	4.90 ± 0.60	4.96 ± 0.66	0.18
Trunk	7.20 ± 1.14	7.09 ± 1.08	7.26 ± 1.12	0.04
Right leg	5.86 ± 0.75	5.76 ± 0.73	5.90 ± 0.76	0.01
Left leg	5.81 ± 0.74	5.72 ± 0.71	5.84 ± 0.75	0.03
Whole body	5.50 ± 0.65	5.43 ± 0.60	5.53 ± 0.66	0.04
CAP	251.58 ± 47.86	221.98 ± 45.74	263.24 ± 43.48	<0.001

All values were calculated using independent sample t-tests. CAP: controlled attenuation parameter. values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
