Metabolic health phenotype better predicts subclinical atherosclerosis than body mass index-based obesity phenotype in the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease population.

With the normal weight-MH subgroup as a reference, among MU subjects, normal weight, overweight and obesity were all significantly associated with a higher risk for increased baPWV and carotid plaque, and the adjusted odds ratio of risk was similar across BMI categories; however, among MH individuals, overweight and obesity showed a much lower but marginally significant risk of increased baPWV but were not associated with carotid plaque.
