Results: The study population was mainly male (91%), with a mean BMI of 26.5 kg/m². Most participants exhibited low FIB-4-derived fibrosis risk (92.3%), while 7.5% and 0.2% had moderate and high risk, respectively. Non-HDL-C levels showed a weak inverse correlation with FIB-4 scores (r = -0.091, p < 0.001), with higher non-HDL-C categories linked to reduced fibrosis risk (p = 0.007). For instance, 46.5% of moderate/high-risk individuals had non-HDL-C <130 mg/dL versus 36.5% in the low-risk group. Age and male sex were independently associated with elevated fibrosis risk (p < 0.001). Despite statistical significance, the clinical significance of the inverse lipid-fibrosis relationship is still unclear and requires further investigation of the mechanisms.
Conclusion: The result of present study highlights the utility of FIB-4 as a non-invasive tool for identifying NAFLD-related fibrosis risk in occupational populations. The paradoxical inverse association between non-HDL-C and fibrosis stages underscores the complexity of lipid metabolism in NAFLD pathogenesis. Integrating FIB-4 and lipid profiling may improve early detection of metabolic and cardiovascular complications.
