Relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic metabolic diseases in primary school students / 临床儿科杂志

Objectives To investigate the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) disease and its correlation with chronic metabolic diseases in two primary school students in Shanghai. Methods One thousand ifve hundred and thirty-two 7-11 year-old students from two primary schools were enrolled in Septamber-October 2011. The anthropometric indices, blood pressure, screening for pseudoacanthosis nigricans and liver ultrasonography of all subjects were recorded. Results The overall prevalence of NAFLD, obesity, abdominal obesity, pseudoacanthosis nigricans, high systolic blood pressure and high diastolic blood pressure was 6.5%, 26.7%, 16.3%, 5.1%, 1.7%and 1.9%, respectively. The prevalence of NAFLD and abdomi-nal obesity in students of central urban area was signiifcantly higher than that in suburban area (P<0.01). The binary regression analysis revealed a signiifcant association between NAFLD in students with sex, age, obesity, abdominal obesity, pseudoacan-thosis nigricans and high systolic blood pressure (P<0.05). Conclusions NAFLD has close correlation with chronic metabolic disease in children. It is time to adopt prevention, detection and treatment in NAFLD children with symptoms of chronic meta-bolic diseases.

Survey on the Relation between Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance of Dwellers in Wulian County,Shandong / 中国慢性病预防与控制

Objective To investigate the status of metabolic syndrome(MS),chronic metabolic disease and insulin resistance(IR) in dwellers over twenty years old in Wulian County,Shandong province.Method 2 127 dwellers over twenty years old were investigated in three towns with multistage stratified sampling and cross sectional methods.Questionnaire was delivered to all the subjects,while physical examination and biochemical test were carried out.Result The prevalent rate of chronic metabolic diseases in dwellers over twenty years old in Wulian County was 64.34%.The prevalent rate of overweight/obesity,diabetes,hypertension and hyperlipemia were 36.24%,3.24%,38.98% and 31.26,respectively.The prevalence of MS having more than three above diseases was 7.9%.The prevalent rate of IR in obesity,diabetes,hypertension,dyslipidemia and MS patients were 43.34%,78.26%,29.79%,33.23% and 64.28%,respectively.Conclusion Near two-thirds of the dwellers over twenty years old in Wulian suffered chronic metabolic disease.IR was common in MS and chronic metabolic disease,especially in diabetes and MS.
