Increasing the FLI category was significantly associated with a worsening metabolic profile. The odds of hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease progressively increased with higher FLI levels (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001), denoting a dose-response relationship. FLI demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for metabolic syndrome with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.81 - 0.89). An FLI cutoff \u226530 provided an optimal balance of sensitivity (71%) and specificity (41%) for predicting metabolic syndrome.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FLI demonstrates a strong association with metabolic syndrome and related comorbidities in a dose-dependent manner.
