Replication Data for: \"Visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat is associated with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease\"

The aim was to evaluate the effect different types of abdominal fat has on NAFLD development. The dataset comes from the NHANES 2017-2018 release and this subset focuses on participants with abdominal fat area (total, visceral and subcutaneous) and level of steatosis. Liver steatosis was assessed using ultrasound controlled attenuation parameter, a noninvasive method for the detection of hepatic steatosis based on transient elastography.

本研究旨在评估不同类型腹部脂肪对非酒精性脂肪性肝病（Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, NAFLD）发生发展的影响。本数据集源自2017-2018年美国国家健康与营养检查调查（National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES）公开数据集，该子集的研究对象为具备腹部脂肪面积（包括总体、内脏及皮下脂肪面积）与脂肪变性程度相关数据的受试者。肝脏脂肪变性采用超声受控衰减参数（ultrasound controlled attenuation parameter）进行评估，这是一种基于瞬时弹性成像（transient elastography）的无创性肝脂肪变性检测方法。
