SummaryUsing MRI-derived liver fat in NAKO-751, we have derived optimal, sex-specific cutoffs of non-invasive liver scores (e.g. FLI) to diagnose steatotic liver disease. We now aim to calculate non-invasive liver scores on the whole NAKO, and compare the numbers of diagnosed individuals between the optimal, sex-specific cutoffs and the standard (e.g. FLI≥60) cutoffs.
