Moreover, the correlation of METS-VF with both NAFLD and liver fibrosis demonstrated a clear trend of increasing strength with higher METS-VF values ( P < .01 for trend).
Moreover, the correlation of METS-VF with both NAFLD and liver fibrosis demonstrated a clear trend of increasing strength with higher METS-VF values ( P < .01 for trend).
However, while there was a tendency for the incidence of liver fibrosis to increase in the METS-VF group, this trend did not reach statistical significance due to limitations in sample size.
