Fatty Liver Index and Skeletal Muscle Density [PDF]
AbstractAccumulation of fat in the liver and skeletal muscle is associated with obesity and poor health outcomes. Liver steatosis is a characteristic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and myosteatosis, of poor muscle quality in sarcopenia. In this study of 403 men (33–96 years), we investigated associations between the fatty liver index (FLI)

An Empirical Index for Labor Market Density [PDF]
We derive a structural index for labor market density based on the Ellison-Glaeser index for industry concentration. The labor market density index serves as a proxy for the number of workers that are potentially available for jobs in a particular area. The index is based on observed home-work location patterns.
