Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalences of the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome( MS), and analyze the relationship between the two kinds of diseases in retired old people in Wuhan. Methods Seven hundred and eighteen retired old people (≥60 years old) were surveyed. The height, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid and liver B uhrasonography were examined. Results The prevalences of MS and NAFLD were 25.2% and 25.9% respectively, and the prevalences of hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and abdominal obesity were 89.2%, 29.6%, 40.3%, 10.3% and 38.6% respectively. The prevalence of MS was higher in women than in men (χ2=21.0, P<0.05). The risk of NAFLD was increased with the increase of MS components numbers (male: χ2=82.9;female: χ2=23.7, both P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between the prevalence of NAFLD and MS in the elderly (male: OR=2.216;female: OR =4.848,both P<0.01). Conclusions The prevalences of NAFLD and MS are high in retired old people in Wuhan, and there is significant relationship between the two kinds of diseases. Great attention should be paid to the two risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.
