What is it about?
Asians develop type 2 diabetes at a lower body mass index (BMI) compared with other races, which is partly because of Asian-specific fat depots. Sex plays a role in fat deposition, regardless of race. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association among fatty liver, sex and type 2 diabetes in non-obese Japanese.

Why is it important?
Our findings suggest the association between fatty liver and type 2 diabetes in non-obese Asians is different by sex; fatty liver increases diabetes risk among male, not female, non-obese Asians.
