“…The prevalence of NAFLD in the general population ranges from 6.3% to 51% depending on the method used to assess liver steatosis and the population/ethnicity studied [41][42][43][44][45]. This prevalence can be significantly higher in individuals with MRFs [46][47][48].…”

This review of the literature consists of three sections. First, papers concerning non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) awareness among the general population, general practitioners, and liver and non-liver specialists were retrieved and analyzed to highlight the perception of disease, verify knowledge of current recommendations, and identify the main difficulties experienced in clinical practice. Next, position papers and clinical practice guidelines issued by International and National Hepatological Scientific Societies were identified and critically assessed in order to pinpoint the areas of convergence/difference. Finally, practical suggestions on NAFLD diagnosis and management in daily practice are provided and the open questions highlighted.

“…In western China, where the majority of ethnic minorities live, the prevalence of MAFLD ranges from 21.8 to 26.1% [ 5 , 6 ]. Of note, during the last decade, the prevalence of MAFLD in this region has doubled according to previous studies [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Background The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been rising rapidly in western China. Diet acts as an effective therapy for MAFLD. However, there has been scarce research on the association between a posteriori diet patterns (DPs) and MAFLD in this region. Method We identified three a posteriori DPs which were “Sichuan Basin pattern” characterized by a high intake of fish/seafood, poultry, fresh fruit and vegetables, indicating a balanced and modern DP; the “Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau dietary pattern” characterized mainly by a high intake of animal oil and salt, indicating an agricultural and poor DP; and the “Qinghai–Tibet Plateau dietary pattern” characterized by a high intake of coarse grains, wheat products, tubers and tea, respectively, indicating a high-altitude DP. Then, we performed marginal structural models that combined logistic regression and inverse probability exposure weighting (IPEW) to examine the associations between MAFLD and these a posteriori DPs. Result We found the “Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau dietary pattern” revealed stronger positive association (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.40–1.60) with MAFLD than that of the “Qinghai–Tibet Plateau dietary pattern” (OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.14–1.30). In contrast, the “Sichuan Basin dietary pattern” showed no significant association with MAFLD. In the further stratified analysis, we found those above associations were stronger in ethnic minorities and rural residents than their counterparts. Conclusion Our study implied the unfavourable effects of “Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau dietary pattern” on MAFLD and provided evidence that reducing the intake of oil and sodium may be optimal for MAFLD control in the multi-ethnic region in western China.

“…Waist circumference is almost same in both males and females and the values are 95.21±11.17 cms , 95.11±11.38 cms respectively. Research study conducted by G Li etal found that NAFLD group had significantly larger proportion of males (63.6%) and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.7 ± 3.3 kg /m2, and the mean of waist circumferences (WC) was 79.9 ± 10.1 c m 17 . It was high in both males and females of our study.…”

NAFLD is commonly develops among 40-50 years and even with non consumption of alcohol patient with any component of metabolic syndrome may develop hepatic steatosis. Waist circumference is the cost effective clinical tool to assess the obesity and NAFLD. Cross sectional study was conducted in Vijaya Sree Hospitals Gastro and Liver care centre; in Ongole city, Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh. Ultrasonographically confirmed fatty liver cases visiting to hospital for the purpose of gastrointestinal and liver problems were enrolled in the study from January 2016 to May 2016. Pre tested, pre structured, validated questionnaire was used to get the information from the patients: Continuous variables were presented with descriptive analysis like mean ± standard deviation (SD). Pearson's correlation analysis was carried out between waist circumference and waist to hip ratio with body mass index. Among the total 184 study participants 142 (77.1%) were males and 42 (22.9%) were females. Out of total 184 NAFLD cases 70 (42.9%) were obese patients with BMI of more than 30kg/m2, whereas 54 (33.1%) were pre obese patients with BMI between 25 to 29.9 kg/m2. Positive correlation noticed between waist circumference and Body mass index with p value <0.05 and r value of 0.466 and Waist to Hip ratio showed a negative correlation with body mass Index (P>0.05). It was found that 62 (33.69%) cases were with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Waist circumference was found to be useful indicator for obesity with NAFLD patients in comparison with the waist to hip ratio. Significant association noticed between type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity of NAFLD patients. Strategies need to be planned to train health care workers and teachers about measuring the waist circumference and the body mass index and also

Prevalence of and risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in community-dwellers of Beijing, China

Abstract: These findings need to be confirmed in prospective studies and randomised controlled trials designed to further clarify the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and to establish evidence-based dietary recommendations for its prevention and treatment.
