One-hour post-load glucose levels are associated with hepatic steatosis assessed by transient elastography.

Our data confirm that 1-hour PG ≥  8.6 mmol/L is associated with higher signs of NAFLD, even among individuals with normal glucose tolerance, categorized as low risk by canonical diagnostic standards. TE is a safe low-impact approach that could be employed for stratifying the risk profile in these patients, with a high level of accuracy.
