Epidemiological Characteristics and Risk Factors of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Jincheng between 2015 and 2020
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Jincheng between 2015 and 2020.Methods Clinical data of 8 578 medical check-ups at Physical Examination Center of ou hospital from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively selected.The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the last 5 years was recorded,and Logistic regression was utilized to identify the risk factors for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Results The overall prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Jincheng was 14.57%in 2015-2020.The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was higher in men than in women(16.99%vs 10.98%)and highest in the 40-59 age group(18.76%).No statistical difference was reported in blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and serum creatinine(Scr)between groups(P>0.05),while statistical difference was found in diabetes,hypertension,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,weekly exercise frequency,daily vegetable intake,triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and uric acid(UA)between two groups(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis denoted that BMI(OR=2.794,95%CI:1.745-4.550),waist circumference(OR=2.586,95%CI:1.585-4.299),diabetes(OR=0.644,95%CI:1.425-2.781),hypertension(OR=1.479,95%CI:1.121-2.290),weekly exercise ≥6h(OR=0.617,95%CI:0.519-0.709),daily vegetable intake ≥ 300g(OR=0.590,95%CI:0.467-0.652),TG(OR=1.481,95%CI:1.122-1.996),TC(OR=1.562,95%CI:1.143-2.135),LDL-C(OR=1.440,95%CI:1.139-2.048),HDL-C(OR=0.656,95%CI:0.587-0.783),ALT(OR=1.591,95%CI:1.056-2.183),and UA(OR=1.412,95%CI:1.009-1.887)were risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(P<0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Jincheng City from 2015 to 2020 is 14.57%,the prevalence of males is higher than that of females,and the prevalence rate is the highest in the 40-59 age group.Moreover,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,BMI,waist circumference,weekly exercise,daily vegetable intake,serum TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,ALT,and UA are all associated with the risk of the disease.
