Abstract:
A retrospective survey wag performed among medical staff in a hospital during 2006-2008 with physical examinations and reviews of medical records.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)related factors were compared and analyzed for them.Overall detection rate of NAFLD was 13.9%(230/1655)in 2006 and 18.9%(344/1817)in 2008,with statistically significant difference(χ2=15.549,P＜0. 01 ). Among people surveyed over 30 years old, detection rate of NAFLD was 9.4%, 17. 8% and 21.7% for those aged 30 -39, 40 -49 and 50 years and over, respectively in 2006, while 14. 4%, 28. 2% and 30. 5% , respectively in 2008. Detection rate presented a increasing trend in those of younger age. Relative risk for fatty liver was 1. 859 for those with obesity and overweight. Prevalence of NAFLD in medical staff increases year by year. Medical staff should attend for their own health and take measures to prevent them from its potential risk factors and pay more attention to behavioral intervention for NAFLD.
