In never- or past-smokers, the adjusted HR for the FLI 30-59 group was 1.10, and that for the FLI ≥ 60 group was 1.31. Subgroup analysis revealed an incidence rate of 1.06 per 1,000 person-years in the consistently high FLI group compared to 1.15 in those with improved FLI. Improving FLI over time was associated with a 0.93-fold decrease in lung cancer risk.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our study demonstrated a correlational relationship between lung cancer incidence and the severity of steatotic liver disease as measured by FLI.</p>","PeriodicalId":48785,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Internal Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142478330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
