Relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome in adults

Objective To study the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome (MS)in adults.Methods Overall 175 NAFLD patients and 54 non-fatty liver adults were assigned as survey group and contrast group.The levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),waistline (WI),triglyceride (TG),fasting blood glucose (FBG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were tested and analyzed.Results The levels of SBP,DBP,WI,TG,FBG in survey group were significantly higher than those in contrast group (t=3.790,3.688,2.825,3.251,3.429,2.635,P<0.01).The level of HDL-C in survey group was significantly lower than that of in contrast group (t=2.849,P<0.01).Central obesity,high blood pressure,high blood triglyceride,low high density lipoprotein and hyperglycemia in survey group were significantly higher than those in contrast group (χ²=29.02,8.64,11.37,6.51,11.72,9.65,P<0.01).The proportion of the patients with three or more than three components of MS in survey group was significantly higher than that of in contrast group (χ²=6.15,P<0.05).And the proportion of the patients with one or without component of MS in survey group was significantly lower than that of in contrast group (χ²=26.29,P<0.01).Conclusion NAFLD is a component of MS.NAFLD could be a predictor for metabolic disorder.
