A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to compare conventional and emerging anthropometric measures among male participants with and without fatty liver disease (FLD). The objective was to assess di erences and diagnostic e ciency of anthropometric-parameters using receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis at Combined Military Hospital Multan, NUMS from April to October 2022. Comparison for anthropometric measurements between non-FLD (n=164)vs. FLD (n=85) indicated signi cant di erences in weight (74.01+ 11.96 vs. 85.91 + 14.07 kg, p<0.001), waist circumference (9.38 + 9.82 vs. 101.35 + 10.74 cm, p<0.001), BMI (24.81 + 4.0 vs. 29.21 + 4.38 kg/m2, p<0.001), waist-to-hip ratio (WHpR) (0.924 + 0.054 vs. 0.971 + 0.054, p<0.001), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (0.508 + 0.054 vs. 0.578 + 0.062, p<0.001), and abdominal volume index (AVI) (16.17+ 3.56 vs. 20.77 + 4.61, p<0.001). Fatty liver index (FLI) also showed signi cant di erence between non-FLD vs. FLD groups (38.35 + 27.12 vs. 72.01 + 21.31, p<0.001). AUCs for various signi cant anthropometric measurements from highest to lowest as 0.821 (95% CI: 0.767-0.874) for FLI, 0.815 (95% CI: 0.761-0.869) for WHtR, 0.809 (95% CI: 0.754-0.863) for AVI, and 0.808 (95% CI: 0.754-0.863) for waist circumference with lowest recorded AUC for height as 0.422 (95% CI: 0.347-0.497).
