Study of Relation Between Body Weight Index and Fatty Liver in 354 Healthy Persons

Objective:To investigate relationship between body mass index and fatty liver in healthy persons.Methods:According to the criteria of body mass index and ultrasound diagnostic criteria of fatty liver,the detection rate of fatty liver and the dependablity with the body mass index were analyzed.Results:In 354 examinees,55 were detected to have fatty liver(15.54%);The detection rate in the males was obviously higher than that in the females(P0.01)and the detection rate of fatty liver increased with age;the detection rate of those with body mass index ≥25,was 51.95%(40/77),those ≤25 was 5.42%(15/277),with significant difference(P0.01).The body mass index had a direct proportion with fatty liver(r=0.868,P0.01).Conclusion:There is an obvious dependability between body mass index and the incidence of fatty liver.Weight control is one of the important measures to prevent fatty liver.
