Anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) are commonly used for assessing metabolic risk. However, their predictive accuracy for MASLD in this population remains uncertain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled adults with HIV who underwent transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) measurement. Anthropometric and metabolic indices, including BMI, WC, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and visceral adiposity index (VAI), were collected from the study participants. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to determine the diagnostic performance of these indices for detecting hepatic steatosis, defined as CAP value of \u2265248\u2005dB\/m. Analyses were stratified by sex assigned at birth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Altogether, 256 participants were included. WC demonstrated the numerically highest discrimination for CAP-defined steatosis (area under the ROC curve 0.769), followed by BMI and hip circumference, whereas WHR and VAI showed weaker performance. In sex-stratified analyses, WC remained the numerically highest-performing measure among males, whereas BMI, WC, hip circumference, and VAI showed similar discrimination among females.<\/jats:p>\n
