Prognostic Significance of Fatty Liver Index for the Development of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Events in Populations With Suboptimal Blood Pressure
Over 8-9 years, 19.3% of Korean adults with suboptimal BP developed hypertension, and 1.87% experienced MACCEs without traditional risk factors. A higher FLI was independently associated with the development of hypertension and MACCEs. The FLI may be an important predictor of new-onset hypertension and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
