Liver fat content is associated with increased carotid atherosclerosis in a Chinese middle-aged and elderly population: The Shanghai Changfeng study

Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is closely associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We investigated whether the liver fat content (LFC) is independently associated with carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and evaluated the contribution of the...

description Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is closely associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We investigated whether the liver fat content (LFC) is independently associated with carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and evaluated the contribution of the LFC to the increased CIMT. Methods We conducted a community-based study among 1809 participants (682 males and 1127 females) from the Changfeng Study who were at least 45 years old. A standard interview, anthropometrics and laboratory parameters were performed for each participant. The CIMT was determined by ultrasonography. A large CIMT value was defined as 75th percentile of the maximum CIMT. A standardised ultrasonographic hepatic-renal ratio was used to assess the LFC. Results The median LFC value was 6% (interquartile range, 3–14%), and 34% of the subjects had hepatic steatosis based on the criteria for diagnosis of steatosis by quantitative ultrasound. The maximum CIMT, average CIMT and plaque score were strongly associated with the LFC ( β  = 0.319, 0.324 and 1.361, respectively; all P
