The Association Between Obesity Indices and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis

Obesity is strongly associated with NAFLD in AS patients. Body mass index and WHtR may serve as valuable indicators for assessing hepatic steatosis risk. Routine metabolic evaluations, including obesityrelated parameters and liver enzyme levels, could facilitate the early detection of NAFLD in AS patients. Further prospective studies are warranted to clarify the causal relationship between obesity and liver involvement in AS. Cite this article as: Kutluk O, Dabak NE, Yucel AA, Alparslan AS, H, Cay F.
