Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the world's most common etiology of chronic liver disease. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we estimated the prevalence of NAFLD in the Iranian children and adult population.
A comprehensive search of five international databases, including PubMed, ISI/WOS, ProQuest, Scopus, and Google Scholar, was done from inception to Nov 2022. Studies on NAFLD patients and their risk factors were selected for meta-analysis. The quality of the included studies was assessed by The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist for cross-sectional, and cohort studies. The heterogeneity between studies was investigated using Cochran test and I2 statistics. Random and fixed effect models were used for heterogenic and non-heterogenic studies, respectively. We used Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 3 for conducting meta-analysis.
Twenty studies were finally included. The total prevalence of NAFLD in children, boys, and girls was 6.7% (95% CI: 0.02-0.18), 12.5% (95% CI: 0.04-0.29) and, 10.1% (95% CI: 0.04-0.21), respectively. The total prevalence of NAFLD in obese children, obese boys, and obese girls was 42% (95% CI: 0.18-0.69), 44% (95% CI: 0.13-0.80), and 33 % (95% CI: 0.13-0.62), respectively. The total prevalence of NAFLD in adults was 36.9% (95% CI: 0.31-0.42). The prevalence of NAFLD in men and women was 33.8% (95% CI: 0.27-0.41) and 29.9% (95% CI: 0.21-0.40), respectively.
NAFLD prevalence in Iranian adults and obese children is considerable; however, data about the children population was insufficient.
非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)是全球最常见的慢性肝病病因。在本系统评价和荟萃分析中,我们估计了伊朗儿童和成人中NAFLD的患病率。
对包括PubMed、ISI/WOS、ProQuest、Scopus和谷歌学术在内的五个国际数据库进行了全面检索,检索时间从建库至2022年11月。选择关于NAFLD患者及其危险因素的研究进行荟萃分析。纳入研究的质量通过乔安娜·布里格斯研究所(JBI)横断面研究和队列研究的批判性评价清单进行评估。使用 Cochr an检验和I2统计量研究研究之间的异质性。随机效应模型和固定效应模型分别用于异质性和非异质性研究。我们使用综合荟萃分析第3版进行荟萃分析。
最终纳入20项研究。儿童、男孩和女孩中NAFLD的总患病率分别为6.7%(95%CI:0.02 - 0.18)、12.5%(95%CI:0.04 - 0.29)和10.1%(95%CI:0.04 - 0.21)。肥胖儿童、肥胖男孩和肥胖女孩中NAFLD的总患病率分别为42%(95%CI:0.18 - 0.69)、44%(95%CI:0.13 - 0.80)和33%(95%CI:0.13 - 0.62)。成人中NAFLD的总患病率为36.9%(95%CI:0.31 - 0.42)。男性和女性中NAFLD的患病率分别为33.8%(95%CI:0.27 - 0.41)和29.9%(95%CI:0.21 - 0.40)。
伊朗成人和肥胖儿童中NAFLD的患病率相当高;然而,关于儿童人群的数据不足。
