| Title: | Increasing Liver Fat Is Associated With Incident Cardiovascular Risk Factors. |
| Abstract: | Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with increased liver- and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related morbidity and mortality. In cross-sectional analyses, NAFLD clusters with several cardiometabolic traits including obesity,1,2 hypertension,3 diabetes,1 and dyslipidemia.3 However, liver fat is dynamic and changes over time. Aside from limited prior studies evaluating diet or exercise interventions, little is known about the association between changes in liver fat and the incidence of CVD risk factors. Additionally, previous studies often have limited follow-up; evaluate only select populations, such as individuals with obesity4,5 or diabetes6-8; and may not account for changes in weight or body mass index (BMI). The aim of the present study was to examine, in a longitudinal cohort, the natural history of liver fat change and the association with the incidence of multiple CVD risk factors. |
