ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between fatty liver and body mass index (BMI), serum lipid levels in aging population. Method 748 of retired people (≥45 years) were studied. All participants accepted liver B -mode Ultrasonography examination, height, weight and blood lipid detection. The relationship between Fatty Liver and BMI, serum lipid levels were analyzed. Results The detection rate of Fatter Liver in male and female was 61.8% and 44.6% separately. The detection rate of Fatter Liver was 53.4% in the aging group (45~59 years), while the rate was 51.0% in elderly group (≥60 years). Compared to the 23.07 kg / m2 and 1.58 mmol/L in group without fatty liver, the BMI and serum triglyceride was 26.77 kg / m2 and 2.13 mmol / L in the group suffered the Fatter Lever. There existed statistically significant differences of Body Mass Index and serum Triglyceride level between the group with and without fatty liver (P
