Sex-Specific Cardiometabolic Profiles and Severity of Liver Fibrosis
In this study, the presence of 2 or more CMRFs was associated with a greater increase in risk of significant fibrosis for women compared with men. Central adiposity and glucose intolerance were also associated with greater increases in risk among women.. These findings support the need for sex-specific screening approaches.
