Higher association of coronary artery calcification with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease than with abdominal obesity in middle-aged Korean men: the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study

Table 3 Odds ratio for coronary artery calcification in subjects with either NAFLD or abdominal obesity

Independent variables	Coronary artery calcification (CACS >0)
