Logistic regression analysis of NAFLD with the anthropometric and biochemical variables.

Variables	Univariable analysis	Multivariable analysis
	OR (95%CI)	OR (95%CI)
Age (years)	0.997 (0.975–1.020)
Body mass index (kg/m^2)	1.875 (1.539–2.285)	1.794 (1.458–2.208)
Waist circumference (cm)	1.129 (1.072–1.189)
Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)	1.012 (0.997–1.027)
Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)	1.024 (0.998–1.051)
Alanine aminotransferase (U/L)	1.029 (1.010–1.048)
Aspartate aminotransferase (U/L)	1.030 (0.997–1.063)
γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase (U/L)	1.016 (1.005–1.028)
Uric acid (μmol/L)	1.007 (1.003–1.011)
Triglyceride (mmol/L)	2.181 (1.464–3.250)	1.627 (1.032–2.566)
Total cholesterol (mmol/L)	1.224 (0.898–1.669)
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/L)	0.148 (0.048–0.456)
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/L)	1.163 (0.793–1.707)
Fast blood glucose (mmol/L)	1.094 (0.881–1.358)
Afamin (mg/L)	1.287 (1.167–1.419)	1.289 (1.141–1.456)

Backward stepwise regression was used in the multivariate logistic regression analyses (probability to enter= 0.05, and probability to remove = 0.10). All variables in the table entered the regression model at first. Finally, the body mass index, triglyceride, and afamin were retained in the multivariable model. OR= odds ratio, CI= confidence interval.
