Combined effect of gallstone disease and central obesity on the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Age-and sex-standardized prevalence of NAFLD by central obesity and gallstone disease status (a). Combined effect of gallstone disease and central obesity on the odds of NAFLD (b). Cholecystectomy associated with a higher prevalence of NAFLD compared with gallstones among both centrally obese and non-central-obese subjects. Gallstones associated with a higher prevalence of NAFLD only in the presence of central obesity. Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of NAFLD for participants categorized by cross-classification of central obesity and gallstone disease status were adjusted for age, sex, race ethnicity, smoking and drinking status, education level, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol
