Relative microvascular aging index

1. Relative microvascular aging index is associated with hepatic steatosis in humans (26% vs 12%).

   “approximately twofold higher prevalence of hepatic steatosis (26% vs 12%) than those classified as "model-predicted younger" (rmVAI < - 10%).”

1. Relative microvascular aging index is associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease in humans.

   “Higher rmVAI was significantly associated with elevated blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).”
