Abstract: Objective To investigated the prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) and the relationship of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with MS in Hangzhou of Zhejiang province. Methods A total of 3500 subjects who were negative for hepatitis B surface antigen marker were selected to take physical examinations. Body height, body weight, blood pressure, alanine aminotransferase,fasting blood glucose,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and triglyeerides were recorded. B-ultrasonography of the liver and gallbladder was undertaken. Results The prevalence of MS in the NAFLD or normal control group was 25.49% and 8. 61%, respectively ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, MS patients were 3. 927 times more likely to be NAFLD-related. Increased body mass index (BMI) and triglyceride were significantly associated with NAFLD among MS patients. Conclusion BMI and triglyceride level may be the main risk factors of NAFLD-related MS.
