OBJECTIVES: Sarcopenia is a known risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Studies evaluating the association between the fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR) and NAFLD are limited. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the association between FMR and NAFLD.
DESIGN: A retrospective study was conducted on individuals who underwent health examination at Wuhan Union Hospital between January 2020 and November 2021. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records.
SETTING: Wuhan Union Hospital, Wuhan, China.
PARTICIPANTS: 1592 participants aged ≥40 years who underwent body composition analysis and liver ultrasonography were retrospectively reviewed.
OUTCOME MEASURES: Liver ultrasonography was used to assess liver steatosis, and the fibrosis-4 index was used to calculate the risk scores for liver fibrosis. The 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk prediction model was used to calculate ASCVD risk scores.
RESULTS: The FMR was significantly higher in individuals with NAFLD than in those without NAFLD (p<0.001). The prevalence of NAFLD gradually increased from FMR tertile 1 (reference) to tertile 2 (OR=1.49, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.97) and tertile 3 (OR=2.85, 95% CI 2.08 to 3.90). In addition, patients with NAFLD in FMR tertile 3 had a significantly higher risk of liver fibrosis (OR=4.48, 95% CI 2.12 to 9.50) and ASCVD (OR=4.63, 95% CI 2.62 to 8.19) than those in FMR tertile 1 after adjustment for multiple confounders.
CONCLUSION: In this study, we found a significant association between FMR and NAFLD. A higher FMR indicates a higher risk of NAFLD in the study population and a higher risk of liver fibrosis and ASCVD in NAFLD patients.
