Abstract
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to screen fatty liver in individuals with metabolic disorders, and to investigate the use of some anthropometric calculations and body composition indices in demonstrating fatty liver disease.
Methods: The cross-sectional study included 224 participants with metabolic diseases. Anthropometric measurements of the participants were measured. Waist/Height ratio, Rohrer Index, Broca-Katsura Index, Relative Fat Mass (RFM), Body Roundness Index (BRI), A Body Shape Index (ABSI) were calculated. The presence of qualitative steatosis was evaluated abdominal ultrasonography. As a result of all analyzes, p <0.05 was accepted as significant.
Results: The mean age of the 224 participants included in the study was 55.1±10.6 (min=23, max=83) years. 84 (37.5%) of the participants were female and 140 (62.5%) were male. Steatosis was detected on ultrasonography in 142 (63.4%) of the participants. Waist/Height ratio, Rohrer index, Broca-Katsura index, RFM, BRI, BMI and waist circumference were found to be significantly higher in participants with steatosis (p<0.05). According to the ROC analysis, BRI cut-off value of 4.6 were found to be significant in detecting steatosis.
Conclusions: As a result of our study, we found that various body composition indices, especially BRI, were associated with fatty liver. Especially in female, it was seen that screening of fatty liver with cut-off values of body composition indices, and confirmation by ultrasonography, if necessary, may enable early diagnosis. In male, it was seen that body composition indices and fatty liver could not be determined directly, only BMI and waist circumference were indicative.
期刊介绍：
It is a peer reviewed medical journal published regularly since 1984. It was previously known as quarterly "SPECIALIST" till December 31st 1999. It publishes original research articles, review articles, current practices, short communications & case reports. It attracts manuscripts not only from within Pakistan but also from over fifty countries from abroad.
Copies of PJMS are sent to all the import medical libraries all over Pakistan and overseas particularly in South East Asia and Asia Pacific besides WHO EMRO Region countries. Eminent members of the medical profession at home and abroad regularly contribute their write-ups, manuscripts in our publications. We pursue an independent editorial policy, which allows an opportunity to the healthcare professionals to express their views without any fear or favour. That is why many opinion makers among the medical and pharmaceutical profession use this publication to communicate their viewpoint.
