Serum fetuin-A levels and ROC curves for the detection of abnormalities in DPN examination in individuals with a high NAFLD liver fat score (≥ − 0.640). (A) Normal (n = 63) and abnormal (n = 19) vibration perception. (B) ROC curve of fetuin-A for the absence of abnormal vibration perception. (C) Normal (n = 74) and abnormal (n = 8) 10-g monofilament tests. (D) ROC curve of fetuin-A for the absence of an abnormal 10-g monofilament test. *p < 0.05. Data are the mean ± standard deviation. AUROC, area under the ROC curve; DPN, diabetic peripheral neuropathy; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; ROC, receiver operating characteristic.
