Variables	Men			Women
	Standardized β	t		Standardized β	t
Unadjusted Model	0.354	9.090	<0.001	0.435	16.144	<0.001
Multivariate Model 1	0.195	4.929	<0.001	0.228	8.272	<0.001
Multivariate Model 2	0.111	2.593	0.010	0.126	4.220	<0.001

Multivariate Model 1 included age, NC, SBP, DBP, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, and CRP. Multivariate Model 2 included age, NC, SBP, DBP, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, CRP, and central obesity. NC, neck circumference; LFC, liver fat content; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c; HOMA-IR, homoeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index; TG, triglyceride; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; CRP, C-reactive protein.
