APRI score levels analyzed by single MetS criterion and BMI cut-offs. (a) Comparison of APRI values according to BMI definition. Subjects were divided in three different categories. Healthy = n. 412, Overweight = n. 421, Obese = n.305. Data is presented as mean ± SEM. Comparison of groups was performed using one-way ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni’s post-hoc test. Data from groups sharing the same lowercase letters were not significantly different, whereas data from groups with different case letters were significantly different (p < 0.05). (b–f) T-Test comparison of APRI values in subjects divided by positivity for each MetS criterion according to IDF definition. Data is presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
