Core Tip	Central and general obesity are independently associated with increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Per-unit increase in waist circumference and body mass index increased the incidence risk of NAFLD by 0.07- and 0.25-fold, respectively. The risk for disease is increased in individuals with a higher waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index by 1.34-, 3.06-, and 1.85-fold, respectively. The results of this analysis suggest that central obesity poses a greater threat to national health than general obesity. Therefore, future studies should place a greater emphasis on central obesity.
