Associations between categorical variables (presence or absence of hypertension (SAH), NAFLD, IR and MS) were performed using the chi-square (χ2) test. e coef- cient of the proportion was performed to measure the degree of association between the categorical variables NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. e ROC curve was used to identify the most accurate value of HOMA-IR to diagnose IR. e signi cance level was set at 5%.
