| Title: | Metabolic determinants of NAFLD in adults with type 1 diabetes. |
| Abstract: | AIM: To assess the main metabolic determinants of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adult patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: 115 patients with T1D were divided into 4 groups according to NAFLD grade. NAFLD was diagnosed via transient elastography when CAP > 233 dB/m. Body composition was evaluated by Inbody720, Biospace. Serum lipids, liver enzymes, uric acid, creatinine, hsCRP and HbA1c were evaluated at fasting. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 47% (n = 54). In the subgroup with BMI > 25 kg/m2 NAFLD prevalence was 66%; and positive family history of type 2 diabetes brought the risk up to 76%. 37% of the lean individuals also had NAFLD. HbA1c > 7% doubled the risk of NAFLD. Waist circumference > 82.5 cm was independently related to NAFLD, accounting for 24% of its variation in females. Accumulation of two and three metabolic syndrome (MetS) components, besides hyperglycemia, increased the risk of NAFLD by 14% (p < 0.0001) and 6% (p = 0.024), respectively. Lean NAFLD correlated with total insulin dose; NAFLD in overweight T1D patients correlated with triglycerides. CONCLUSIONS: NAFLD is highly prevalent in adults with T1D and obesity or other metabolic derangements and might be independently related to poor long-term glycemic control and waist circumference in females. |

| I14 | 9970 | Obesity | An overnutrition that is characterized by excess body fat, traditionally defined as an elevated ratio of weight to height (specifically 30 kilograms per meter squared), has_material_basis_in a multifactorial etiology related to excess nutrition intake, decreased caloric utilization, and genetic susceptibility, and possibly medications and certain disorders of metabolism, endocrine function, and mental illness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity | disease of metabolism/acquired metabolic disease/ nutrition disease/overnutrition | Details |
