“…The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population is growing worldwide: 44% in the USA, 33% in Europe and 25% in Italy [1][2][3][4][5][6]; for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of NAFLD, the estimate is 2-3% [3,5]. A large cohort study reported that NAFLD was associated with 26% higher 5-year overall health-care costs, mainly from cardiometabolic diseases [6].…”

The prevalence of fatty liver (steatosis) in the general population is rapidly increasing worldwide. The progress of knowledge in the physiopathology of fatty liver is based on the systems biology approach to studying the complex interactions among different physiological systems. Similarly, translational and clinical research should address the complex interplay between these systems impacting on fatty liver. The clinical needs drive the applications of systems medicine to re-define clinical phenotypes, assessing the multiple nature of disease susceptibility and progression (e.g. the definition of risk, prognosis, diagnosis criteria, and new endpoints of clinical trials). Based on this premise and in light of recent findings, the complex mechanisms involved in the pathology of fatty liver and their impact on the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of cardiovascular, metabolic liver diseases associated with steatosis are presented in this review using a new "systems medicine" approach. A new data set is proposed for studying the impairments of different physiological systems that have an impact on fatty liver in different subsets of subjects and patients.

“…Additionally, the prevalence is higher than 70% in subjects suffering from conditions associated with insulin resistance, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension and MetS [13,14]. However, prospective cohort studies measuring the association between MetS and NAFLD in China's population are scarce.…”

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the associations between body iron stores and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Chinese population and explore whether this effect may be modified by other factors. Methods: A 1: 1 frequency-matched case–control study was conducted, including 482 NAFLD cases and 490 gender- and age-matched controls. Serum levels of ferritin, hepcidin, and C-reactive protein were measured. Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hepcidin was not associated with NAFLD risk; however, elevated serum ferritin was significantly associated with increased risk of NAFLD (adjusted OR 1.619, 95% CI 1.158–2.267), and hepcidin:ferritin ratio was significantly associated with decreased risk of NAFLD (OR_adjusted 0.702, 95% CI 0.501–0.984). When stratified by gender, a significant association was found between elevated serum ferritin and hepcidin:ferritin ratio and NAFLD only for women (OR_adjusted 2.131, 95% CI 1.151–3.944 and OR_adjusted 0.414, 95% CI 0.219–0.781, respectively). A significant multiplicative interaction between central obesity and elevated serum hepcidin was observed (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Elevated serum ferritin and hepcidin:ferritin ratio are associated with NAFLD in a Chinese population. Although serum hepcidin is not associated with NAFLD, it may augment the risk effect of central obesity on NAFLD.
