The relationship between waist circumference and new-onset non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese patients with diabetes mellitus / 天津医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between waist circumference and new-onset non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 1 950 patients with diabetes mellitus, who determined fasting plasma glucose(FPG)≥7.0 mmol/L or who were using hypoglycemic drugs and FPG90 cm (E group, n=421). Multiple Logistic regression model was used to analyze influential factors of new-onset non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese patients with diabetes mellitus. Re?sults The average duration of follow-up was(47.24±5.13) months. The incidence rate was 11.85%(231/1 950) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The incidence rates were 6.98%, 9.28%, 12.38%, 14.19%and 15.68%in A, B, C, D and E groups, and which were increased with the increased waist circumference (P<0.05). Results of multiple Logistic re?gression model analysis showed that compared with A group,OR values were 1.97 and 2.19 in D and E groups respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion Waist circumference≥85 cm was the risk factors of new-onset non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese patients with diabetes mellitus.
