Abstract

[Objective]To study the correlation between fatty liver and body mass index,age and sex by using descriptive epidemiology.[Methods]1 876 staffs entered in the study,including 921 males and 955 females.Their height and weight were measured and abdomen type B ultrasound inspection was conducted.The relations between fatty liver and body mass index,age,and sex was judged by using the fatty liver ultrasound diagnosis standard and body mass index.[Results]The prevalence rate of fatty liver increased with the body mass index(r = 0.996).The prevalence rate of fatty liver of males was significantly higher than that of females;the fatty liver prevalence increased along with age,and that in the age group of 50-59 was highest.[Conclusions]To control weight can effectively reduce the prevalence rate of fatty liver.
