Notably, the differences in resonance frequencies remained highly significant even after adjusting for age ( p = 0.01 for the right ear, p = 0.001 for the left ear; Figure 1 ), and low-frequency absorbances at 0.25, 0.5 and 1 kHz also remained highly significant ( p < 0.05), confirming that the findings were independently associated with NAFLD status rather than age variance. 3.3.
