A simplified, self-applied, 21-item scale with four response options that considers the patient’s condition over the past two weeks

BMI = body mass index.

FLI = fatty liver index.

GGT = gamma-glutamyl transferase.

BP = high blood pressure.

HDL = high-density lipoprotein.

MASLD = metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

METS-IR = metabolic score for insulin resistance.

METS-VF = metabolic score for visceral fat.

MRE = magnetic resonance elastography.

T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus.

THE = transient hepatic elastography.

VAT = visceral adipose tissue.
