AI liver fat measure linked to overlooked cardiovascular risk
People flagged only by AI had cardiovascular-event hazard ratios of 1.21–1.69 versus those normal on both measures; ratios above one indicate higher risk.People flagged only by AI had cardiovascular-event hazard ratios of 1.21–1.69 versus those normal on both measures; ratios above one indicate higher risk.
