UNLABELLED
Non-alcoholic liver steatosis is currently considered an epidemic. It involves a broad spectrum of liver diseases, in which older adults constitute a susceptible group. The aim of this study is to identify the role of waist circumference as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was carried out in 99 older adults who regularly attended five gerontological centers in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The variables studied were age, gender, independent life, access to complete meals, waist circumference, and NAFLD diagnosed by ultrasound.
RESULTS
A significant relationship exists between waist circumference, body mass index, and fat mass percentage. However, only age and waist circumference were significant in the multivariate logistic regression model. Our results suggest that in the presence of waist circumference, body mass index loses its significance and age may be a protective factor due to adipose tissue loss and redistribution.
CONCLUSION
Anthropometric measurements such as waist circumference can be used as complement indicators of NAFLD.

非酒精性脂肪性肝病目前被视为一种流行病。它涉及广泛的肝脏疾病，其中老年人是易感人群。本研究的目的是确定腰围作为非酒精性脂肪性肝病危险因素的作用。
方法
对厄瓜多尔瓜亚基尔市五个老年医学中心的99名老年人进行了横断面研究。研究的变量包括年龄、性别、独立生活能力、能否获得完整膳食、腰围以及通过超声诊断的非酒精性脂肪性肝病。
结果
腰围、体重指数和脂肪量百分比之间存在显著关系。然而，在多因素逻辑回归模型中，只有年龄和腰围具有显著性。我们的结果表明，在存在腰围因素的情况下，体重指数失去了其显著性，并且由于脂肪组织的减少和重新分布，年龄可能是一个保护因素。
结论
诸如腰围等人体测量指标可作为非酒精性脂肪性肝病的补充指标。
