Abstract
Objective: To investigate the situation and its risk factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) in health population, and to provide the scientific evidence for this disease control and prevention. Methods: The subjects who had health examination in our hospital from Jan 2014 to Jan 2015 were enrolled in this cross-sectional survey study. The medical history, body examination data (height, weight and blood pressure), biochemical data (blood lipid, blood sugar, liver function, etc.) and the ultrasound examination result were recorded. The descriptive analysis method was used to demonstrate the distribution of NALFD, and the single and multi-variable analysis method was conduct to obtain the risk factors of NAFLD. Result: The overall prevalence rate of NAFLD was 16.92%, while the rate of male group was greater than that of female group. Logistic regression showed that BMI, diastolic pressure, ALT, GGT, fasting blood-glucose, TG, HLD and LDL were the independent risk factors of NAFLD (P<0.05). HDL was negatively correlated with NAFLD and other factors were positively. Conclusions: The overall prevalence rate of NAFLD of health population was higher in Guangzhou. The factors correlated with metabolism syndrome were the risk factor of NAFLD.
