Abstract

[...]a total of 6910 non-pregnant participants aged ≥20 years who fasted before attending a morning exam session were selected. [...]a total of 3995 participants were included in the analysis [Supplementary Figure 1, http://links.lww.com/CM9/B363]. Subgroup analysis revealed that participants without diabetes were more inclined to exhibit a negative association between serum total folate and NAFLD [Supplementary Table 2, http://links.lww.com/CM9/B363].
