Fatty Liver Index

The Fatty Liver Index (FLI) is a numerical tool used by healthcare professionals to estimate the likelihood of having fatty liver disease, a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver. It is calculated using easy-to-measure factors: body weight, waist circumference, triglyceride levels (a type of fat in the blood), and liver enzyme levels. A higher FLI suggests a greater chance of fatty liver. This index helps identify individuals who may need further testing or lifestyle changes to improve liver health, facilitating early intervention and management.
