Description
Catherine Behzad and nine co-authors test a simple body index against fatty liver disease in northern Iran, in a 2025 study. The index, called the lipid accumulation product, combines waist size with blood fat levels. Fatty liver disease not tied to alcohol is common and often silent. The study drew on the second stage of the Amol Cohort Study and covered three thousand one hundred twenty adults. Liver fat was confirmed by ultrasound scans.
The team compared the index across thirds of the population and modeled its link with disease while adjusting for other factors. A second liver score was checked in parallel. If a cheap index flags likely cases well, clinics can reserve scans for those who need them most. The study supplies numbers for a region with little prior data.
