This retrospective study investigated the association of fatty liver with the characteristics of patients visiting the Department of Physical Examination. Three hundred thirty one adults were enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 49.The diagnosis of fatty liver was confirmed by liver echogram. Patient characteristics, including age, gender, body weight, body height, waist-hip ratio, blood pressure, and biochemistry tests, were recorded. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. The results showed the incidence of fatty liver was 54.1% (56.6% in males and 51.3% in females). For subjects below 60 years of age, the incidence of fatty liver in males was higher than in females. By contrast, there was a higher incidence in females than in males in subjects over 60. The severity of fatty liver was significantly correlated with body mass index, blood pressure, liver function, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels. A positive correlation was also shown between the severity of fatty liver and blood pressure, body mass index, lowdensity lipoprotein, liver function, and blood sugar level. The incidence of fatty liver was high in this study series and the severity of fatty liver may be a reference factor in the prediction of cardiovascular disease.
