Age (yr) - median (Q1;Q3)	51 (30-78)
BMI (kg/m²) - median (Q1;Q3)	26.5 (24.3-29.6)
ALT (IU/L) - median (Q1;Q3)	50 (32.5-85)
AST (IU /L) - median (Q1;Q3)	42 (28.5-61.5)
Platelet count (× 10³/mm³) - median (Q1; Q3)	202 (148-247)
Histological fibrosis stage, n (%)
F0	5 (6.2)
F1	33 (40.7)
F2	20 (24.7)
F3	12 (14.8)
