Abstract:
Two hundred male and 200 female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted from January 2007 to April 2008 were enrolled in the study. Of them, 267 were diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by ultrasonography. The measurements included:body mass index (BMI) ,waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) ,fasting blood glucose( FBG), ALT, AST, total bilirubin(TBIL), cholesterol(CHO),triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) ,serum creatinine (Cr), supersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and urine albumin/creatinine. The relationship of above factors with NAFLD was determined. Our data showed that male NAFLD patients were in general younger than female. The BMI ( t = 11. 361, P = 0. 000), waist circumference ( t = 9. 771, P =0. 000), hip circumference (t = 10. 469, P =0. 000) ,TG(t =7. 352, P =0. 000) and hsCRP (t =2. 242,P =0. 026) of NAFLD patients were significantly higher than those without NAFLD. The hsCRP of patients with central obesity was also significantly higher than those without central obesity (t = 0. 266, P = 0. 045 ).BMI and TG were positively correlated with NAFLD. Waist circumference was an independent factor of NAFLD in male patients, same as hip circumference with NAFLD in female patients. In conclusion, gender,central obesity and dyslipidemia may be risk factors for NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
