PurposePrevious studies have shown that progressive forms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occur frequently in patients with obstructive lung disease (OLD). However, few studies have written about this relationship. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between OLD and NAFLD.Subjects and methodsThe Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey is a national population-based, cross-sectional surveillance program that was initiated to assess the health and nutritional status of the Korean population. From 2007 to 2010, 11,738 subjects were enrolled. The subjects were defined as having NAFLD when they had scores higher than −0.640 in a NAFLD liver fat score prediction model, which was a previously validated prediction score. Individuals with forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity <0.7 were considered to have OLD. The subjects were divided into non-OLD and OLD groups and non-NAFLD and NAFLD groups. All analyses were performed using sample weighting using the complex samples plan.ResultsThe prevalences of NAFLD and OLD were 30.2% and 8.9%, respectively. Although not statistically significant, subjects in the NAFLD group involved a higher tendency of having OLD than did those in the non-NAFLD group (8.5% vs 10.0%, respectively, P=0.060). Subjects with OLD showed a higher tendency to have NAFLD than non-OLD subjects (30.0% vs 33.7%, respectively, P=0.060). NAFLD subjects were at higher odds of OLD (odds ratio=1.334; 95% confidence interval=1.108–1.607, P=0.002) than non-NAFLD subjects, after adjusting for age, sex, and smoking history. OLD subjects were at higher odds of NAFLD (odds ratio=1.556; 95% confidence interval=1.288–1.879, P<0.001) than non-OLD subjects, after adjusting for age, sex, and smoking history.ConclusionThis study showed that NAFLD is related to OLD. Clinicians should be aware of possible liver comorbidities in OLD patients and that extrahepatic disease in NAFLD patients may vary more than previously thought.

“…In Korea, the prevalence of NAFLD is estimated to be approximately 20‐30% and is rapidly increasing as a result of an increasingly Westernized lifestyle. Therefore, NAFLD has emerged as a major health issue in Asian countries, including Korea …”

Objectives The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) quantifies interindividual variations in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and is associated with diabetic complications and metabolic diseases. However, information on the association between HGI and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in healthy subjects is limited, particularly in Asian populations. This study aimed to investigate the association between HGI and NAFLD in a healthy Korean cohort. Design Subjects were stratified in quartiles according to their HGI level. NAFLD was diagnosed by hepatic ultrasonography, hepatic steatosis index and fatty liver index. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between HGI quartiles and the risk of NAFLD. Patients Data from subjects without diabetes who underwent liver ultrasonography during routine health examinations were retrospectively reviewed. Results Data from 14 465 subjects were included in the analysis. The prevalence of NAFLD increased significantly with each HGI quartile (24.8%, 29.7%, 32.6% and 40.6% in quartiles 1‐4, respectively; P < 0.001). In comparison with the lowest HGI quartile group, the highest quartile exhibited worse metabolic parameters, including body weight, waist circumference, body mass index and lipid profiles. Multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for multiple factors showed that the odds ratio of having NAFLD was 1.564 (95% CI: 1.350‐1.813, P < 0.001) in the highest HGI quartile. Conclusions Elevated HGI levels are independently associated with NAFLD in a healthy Asian population.

“…NAFLD includes a wide spectrum of liver diseases, from steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [1]. The prevalence of NAFLD was reported to be 24-30% in the United States and Asia [2], and substantially increased from 17.9 to 27.4% during the last decade in Korea [3]. …”

Background/Aims: The relationship between diet and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with gallstone disease and in those who have a high risk for NAFLD has not been investigated. This study was conducted to investigate the association between the risk of NAFLD and dietary pattern in patients who underwent cholecystectomy. Additionally, we assessed the association between erythrocyte fatty acid composition, a marker for diet, and the risk of NAFLD. Methods: Patients (n = 139) underwent liver ultrasonography to determine the presence of NAFLD before laparoscopic cholecystectomy, reported dietary intake using food frequency questionnaire, and were assessed for blood fatty acid composition. Results: Fifty-eight patients were diagnosed with NAFLD. The risk of NAFLD was negatively associated with 2 dietary patterns: consuming whole grain and legumes and consuming fish, vegetables, and fruit. NAFLD was positively associated with the consumption of refined grain, meat, processed meat, and fried foods. Additionally, the risk of NAFLD was positively associated with erythrocyte levels of 16:0 and 18:2t, while it was negatively associated with 20:5n3, 22:5n3, and Omega-3 Index. Conclusion: The risk of NAFLD was negatively associated with a healthy dietary pattern of consuming whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fish, and fruit and with an erythrocyte level of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids rich in fish.
