Table 5 Comparison between overweight and obese cases regarding the degree of liver fibrosis by FibroScan

From: Correlation between adiponectin level and the degree of fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

		Overweight	Obese	Test value	P-value	Sig
		No. = 28	No. = 22	Test value	P-value	Sig
FibroScan	F0–1	22 (78.6%)	9 (40.9%)	16.614^a	0.002	HS
	F2	4 (14.3%)	5 (22.7%)
	F3	2 (7.1%)	4 (18.2%)
	F4	0 (0.0%)	4 (18.2%)

FibroScan grading for our participants, the exact distribution of grades F0–F4 among both groups
P-value > 0.05, non-significant; P-value < 0.05, significant; P-value < 0.01, highly significant
