Figure 4 Restricted cubic spline of the association between CMI and MAFLD risk by sex. The association was adjusted for age, smoking, drinking, WC, BMI, WHtR, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, AST, ALT, WBC, NE and LY. The medians CMI of males (0.9) and females (0.4) were chosen as a reference. The plot showed an increased risk of MAFLD with the elevated CMI, which were above the medians of CMI.
