Association between neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and liver fibrosis in the US population: a nationally representative cross-sectional study using NHANES data from 2017 to 2020.
Background: The neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) has emerged as a promising biomarker for assessing inflammation and lipid dysregulation. Increasing evidence indicates that these metabolic disturbances play a crucial role in the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD). This study aims to investigate the association between NHR, MASLD, and liver fibrosis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Weighted multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between NHR and both MASLD and liver fibrosis. Smoothed curve fitting and threshold effect analysis were performed to detect potential nonlinear relationships. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the consistency of these associations across different groups.
Results: The study involved 4,761 participants. We observed a significant positive association between NHR and MASLD (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.09-1.31). However, there was no significant association between NHR and liver fibrosis (OR = 1.01; 95% CI: 0.94-1.09). The analysis of smoothed curve fitting and threshold effect revealed an inverted U-shaped relationship between NHR and MASLD, with a turning point at 5.63.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate a positive correlation between elevated NHR levels and MASLD prevalence. However, we did not observe a significant association between NHR and liver fibrosis prevalence. Further prospective research is needed to validate these findings in a longitudinal setting.
