Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolism syndrome (MS) and fatty liver. Methods Plasma lipids, plasma glucose, liver function, blood pressure, body height and body weight were determined in 666 leaders receiving physical examination. Their livers were also examined by ultrasound. Whit analysis of variance and chi-square test, the effect of plasma lipids, plasma glucose, blood pressure, and weight index on fatty liver, and the relation between MS and fatty liver were analyzed. Results The weight index, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and the levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, apolipoprotein B and plasma glucose in the patients with fatty liver were higher than those in healthy subjects. The levels of high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein A were lower in patients with fatty liver than those in healthy subjects. The morbidity of fatty liver in the patients with MS was higher than that in healthy subjects. Conclusion There was a close relation between MS and fatty liver. It was necessary to early treat MS.
