Figure 1 Odds ratios of age, sex, traditional Framingham risk factors, metabolic syndrome, and hepatic steatosis with coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease was defined by a coronary calcium score of 100 Agatston units or higher on noncontrast computed tomography screening. LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Figure 2 Odds ratios of coronary artery disease, age, dyslipidemia, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and body mass index (BMI) with hepatic steatosis. Hepatic steatosis was defined by liver density that was 10 or more Hounsfield units less than splenic density. LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
