Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic illness which is mainly associated with reduced physical activity and obesity. Diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may coexist and synergistically lead to poor clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of diabetes mellitus among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a tertiary care centre.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the outpatient department of Internal Medicine of a tertiary care centre between 1st January 2022 and 29th June 2023. Convenience sampling was done. A convenience sampling technique was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
Among 150 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes mellitus was seen among 18 (12%) (6.80-17.20, 95% Confidence Interval). Diabetes mellitus was more prevalent in males 12 (66.67%) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was found to be lower as compared to similarly reported research studies.

糖尿病是一种慢性代谢性疾病，主要与体力活动减少和肥胖有关。糖尿病和非酒精性脂肪性肝病可能同时存在，并协同导致不良的临床结局。本研究旨在探讨三级保健中心非酒精性脂肪性肝病患者中糖尿病的患病率。
本研究为 2022 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 6 月 29 日在三级保健中心内科门诊进行的非酒精性脂肪性肝病患者的描述性横断面研究。采用便利抽样法。在 95%置信区间计算点估计值。
在 150 例非酒精性脂肪性肝病患者中，有 18 例（12%）（6.80-17.20，95%置信区间）患有糖尿病。在非酒精性脂肪性肝病患者中，男性糖尿病患病率较高，为 12 例（66.67%）。
与类似报道的研究相比，本研究中非酒精性脂肪性肝病患者的糖尿病患病率较低。
