Prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and associated factors in overweight and obese children in Hohhot

摘要:
目的 探索呼和浩特市超重肥胖儿童非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD)患病现状及其相关因素,为制定健康教育计划和实施儿童NAFLD防治工作提供理论依据。 方法 于2022年8月28日至2023年3月5日,采用整群抽样方法从呼和浩特市4所小学抽取156名超重/肥胖儿童纳入研究;收集呼和浩特市超重/肥胖儿童基本信息,并抽取清晨空腹血液检测空腹血糖(GLU)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、γ谷氨酰基转移酶(γ-GGT)、尿酸(uric)、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、胰岛素(insulin)。采用t检验、χ2检验和Fisher确切概率法进行单因素分析,多因素分析采用Logistic回归分析并进行受试者特征曲线绘制。 结果 无NAFLD组和NAFLD组超重/肥胖儿童在年龄、腰围、臀围、GLU、ALT、AST、γ-GGT、uric和TG上差异均有统计学意义(U/t=1 070.0~2 164.0,P值均 < 0.05)。多因素分析中,AST升高和uric升高与NAFLD发生风险增高均相关[OR值(95%CI)分别为1.16(1.04~1.28),1.01(1.00~1.01),P值均 < 0.05]。受试者特征曲线下面积分别为AST=0.737,uric=0.665。 结论 呼和浩特地区超重/肥胖儿童NAFLD患病率较高,AST升高和uric升高可能会导致超重/肥胖儿童患NAFLD风险升高。应重点关注超重/肥胖儿童NAFLD的患病情况,建议在NAFLD的防治中同时降低BMI和uric水平,以达到更好的治疗效果。 Abstract:Objective To explore prevalence and associated factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in overweight and obese children in Hohhot City, so as to provide the oretical basis for developing health education plans and implementing prevention and treatment of NAFLD in children. Methods A total of 156 overweight and obese children was enrolled from 4 primary schools in Hohhot City using cluster sampling method during 28th Aug. 2022 to 5th Mar. 2023. Height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated, and fasting blood was taken in the early morning for fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase. Single factor analysis was conducted using t-test, χ2 test and Fisher's exact probability method, while multivariate analysis was conducted using Logistic regression analysis and subject characteristic curves. Results The differences in age, waist circumference, hip circumference, fasting glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyltransferase, uric acid, and triglyceride were statistically significant between the non-NAFLD and the NAFLD group (U/t=1 070.0-2 164.0, P < 0.05). Significant differences were observed in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and uric acid levels (AST OR=1.16, 95%CI=1.04-1.28; uric OR=1.01, 95%CI=1.00-1.01, P < 0.05). The area under a receiver operating characteristic were 0.737 for aspartate aminotransferase and 0.665 for uric acid, respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of NAFLD is high in overweight/obese children in Hohhot, and both elevated aspartate aminotransferase and hyperuricemia could increase the risk of NAFLD in overweight/obese children. Special attention should be paid to the NAFLD in overweight and obese children. It is recommended to reduce both BMI and uric level in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD to achieve better treatment outcomes. -
