Abstract BackgroundCataract is a leading cause of vision impairment. Obesity-related risk factors, including insulin resistance, increase the risk of cataract. The fatty liver index (FLI) is a biomarker for noninvasive fat layer prediction of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The FLI has been used to evaluate the metabolic contribution in other organs besides the eye. However, no study exists on the FLI and eye disease. ObjectiveThis retrospective cohort study for the association between the FLI and incidence of cataract surgery in individuals older than 50 years was designed to show that a higher FLI is associated with an increased incidence of cataract surgery in individuals aged 50 years and older. MethodsThis study was retrospectively designed based on the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS) cohort (median follow-up of 9.8 years). Participants were assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on the FLI: low (FLI |
