Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate: 1) the presence of liver steatosis using Fatty Liver Index (FLI), Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI) and Liver Fat Score (LFS) in patients suffering from metabolic syndrome (MS); and 2) the association of FLI, HSI and LFS with the cardiometabolic risks.
Methods: A total of 91 patients with MS (39 men, 52 women) and 44-age matched healthy subjects (control; 23 men and 21 women) were enrolled in the study. A continuous cardiometabolic score (MetsScore) and the noninvasive tests of hepatic steatosis were calculated for comparison and association analysis.
Results: Liver steatosis was detected in 86%, 84% and 80% of people diagnosed with MS using FLI, HSI and LFS respectively and MetsScore increases with FLI severity (P<0.05). Also, FLI and LFS were positively associated with MetsScore (P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively) but not HSI. Multivariate linear regression models revealed that FLI has a stronger association with MetsScore compared with HSI and LFS (P<0.001).
Conclusions: FLI is associated with the severity of MS and represent a good indicator to assess the relation between liver steatosis and a cardiometabolic disorders in clinical routine.
