Patients With Lean Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Are Metabolically Abnormal and Have a Higher Risk for Mortality
2019
Overview
IN BRIEF Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly recognized and common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Although most patients with NAFLD are obese, a smaller group of NAFLD patients are lean. This study explored the long-term outcomes of lean patients with NAFLD in the United States. Compared to lean individuals without NAFLD, lean people with NAFLD were significantly more likely to be older and male and had higher comorbidities (i.e., diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease). The presence of NAFLD in lean individuals was independently associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
