    AbstractA cross-sectional analysis was conducted to compare conventional and emerging anthropometric measures among male participants with and without fatty liver disease (FLD). The objective was to assess differences and diagnostic efficiency of anthropometric-parameters using receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis at Combined Military Hospital Multan, NUMS from April to October 2022. Comparison for anthropometric measurements between non-FLD (n=164) vs. FLD (n=85) indicated significant differences in weight (74.01 + 11.96 vs. 85.91 + 14.07 kg, p<0.001), waist circumference (9.38 + 9.82 vs. 101.35 + 10.74 cm, p<0.001), BMI (24.81 + 4.0 vs. 29.21 + 4.38 kg/m2, p<0.001), waist-to-hip ratio (WHpR) (0.924 + 0.054 vs. 0.971 + 0.054, p<0.001), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (0.508 + 0.054 vs. 0.578 + 0.062, p<0.001), and abdominal volume index (AVI) (16.17 + 3.56 vs. 20.77 + 4.61, p<0.001). Fatty liver index (FLI) also showed significant difference between non-FLD vs. FLD groups (38.35 + 27.12 vs. 72.01 + 21.31, p<0.001). AUCs for various significant anthropometric measurements from highest to lowest as 0.821 (95% CI: 0.767-0.874) for FLI, 0.815 (95% CI: 0.761-0.869) for WHtR, 0.809 (95% CI: 0.754-0.863) for AVI, and 0.808 (95% CI: 0.754-0.863) for waist circumference with lowest recorded AUC for height as 0.422 (95% CI: 0.347-0.497). Key Words: Fatty liver disease (FLD), Body mass index (BMI), A body shape index (ABSI), C-index, Abdominal volume index (AVI), Body roundness index (BRI).
