Fatty Liver and Uric Acid Levels Predict Incident Coronary Heart Disease but Not Stroke among Atomic Bomb Survivors in Nagasaki

Fatty Liver and Uric Acid Levels Predict Incident Coronary Heart Disease but Not Stroke among Atomic Bomb Survivors in Nagasaki

Relationships between fatty liver and coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke risk remain ill defined. We investigated whether fatty liver is a predictor of CHD and stroke risk. Until December 2000 we followed 2,024 atomic bomb survivors (775 men: 62.0 +/- 9.9 years old; 1,249 women: 63.2 +/- 8.4 ye...

Zusammenfassung:Relationships between fatty liver and coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke risk remain ill defined. We investigated whether fatty liver is a predictor of CHD and stroke risk. Until December 2000 we followed 2,024 atomic bomb survivors (775 men: 62.0 +/- 9.9 years old; 1,249 women: 63.2 +/- 8.4 years old) who had basic examinations between November 1990 and October 1992 for clinical and laboratory CHD risk factors and fatty liver and who were initially free of CHD and stroke. Forty-nine cases of CHD and 84 cases of stroke were observed. At the time of the baseline examinations, significant clinical associations were found between fatty liver and obesity (p
