Abstract
Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and following that causing mortality that identification of risk factors can reduce the complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the thickness of subcutaneous fat and measuring waist with a degree of sonography in nonalcoholic fatty liver. Methods: The study included 100patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver. The demographic data and consent, thickness of subcutaneous fat and waist circumference and grade fatty liver for all persons were recorded. T, chi-square, ANOVA was used to compare the data. Results: Our results showed that increasing the degree of NAFLD is directly correlated with the increased waist circumference (P<0.001), hip circumference (P<0.05), and the thickness of subcutaneous fat (P<0.001) as well as the ratio of waist to hip circumference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed that the thickness of subcutaneous fat is a predictor factor in determining the degree of NAFLD. © 2017, Pharmainfo Publications. All rights reserved.
