Only some individuals with obesity develop liver fibrosis due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD-fibrosis). We determined whether detailed assessment of lifestyle factors in addition to physical, biochemical and genetic factors helps in identification of these patients. A total of 100 patients with obesity (mean BMI 40.0 ± 0.6 kg/m) referred for bariatric surgery at the Helsinki University Hospital underwent a liver biopsy to evaluate liver histology. Physical activity was determined by accelerometer recordings and by the Modifiable Activity Questionnaire, diet by the FINRISK Food Frequency Questionnaire, and other lifestyle factors, such as sleep patterns and smoking, by face-to-face interviews. Physical and biochemical parameters and genetic risk score (GRS based on variants in , , and ) were measured. Of all participants 49% had NAFLD-fibrosis. Independent predictors of NAFLD-fibrosis were low moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, high red meat intake, low carbohydrate intake, smoking, HbA, triglycerides and GRS. A model including these factors (areas under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) 0.90 (95% CI 0.84-0.96)) identified NAFLD-fibrosis significantly more accurately than a model including all but lifestyle factors (AUROC 0.82 (95% CI 0.73-0.91)) or models including lifestyle, physical and biochemical, or genetic factors alone. Assessment of lifestyle parameters in addition to physical, biochemical and genetic factors helps to identify obese patients with NAFLD-fibrosis.
仅有部分肥胖个体会因非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD-纤维化)而出现肝纤维化。我们旨在明确除了身体、生化和遗传因素外,详细评估生活方式因素是否有助于识别这些患者。共 100 名肥胖患者(平均 BMI 为 40.0 ± 0.6 kg/m)因肥胖症在赫尔辛基大学医院接受减重手术,这些患者均接受了肝脏活检以评估肝组织学。通过加速度计记录和 Modifiable Activity Questionnaire 评估体力活动,通过 FINRISK 食物频率问卷评估饮食,通过面对面访谈评估其他生活方式因素,如睡眠模式和吸烟。还测量了身体和生化参数以及遗传风险评分(基于 、 、 和 变体的 GRS)。所有参与者中有 49%患有 NAFLD-纤维化。NAFLD-纤维化的独立预测因子是低强度到高强度的体力活动、高红肉摄入、低碳水化合物摄入、吸烟、HbA、甘油三酯和 GRS。包括这些因素的模型(接受者操作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)为 0.90(95%CI 0.84-0.96))比仅包括生活方式因素的模型(AUROC 为 0.82(95%CI 0.73-0.91))或包括生活方式、身体和生化或遗传因素的模型更能准确识别出患有 NAFLD-纤维化的肥胖患者。
