Investigation of Fatty Liver and Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Civil Servants’ of a Town in Beijing

Aim: To understand and evaluate nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the cardiovascular risk factors on a special group of civil servants, in order to determine the prevention strategy, target for their health education. Methods: from September to October in 2016, all civil servants (277) of a town in Beijing Daxing District, aging from 23 to 63 years old (38.44 ± 11.52) including 165 male and 112 female were investigated. The history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes (2DM), dyslipidemia, etc. was obtained through the questionnaire, NAFLD was diagnosed by the ultrasound, and the data of body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, glucose, lipids, uric acid, liver function and renal function were obtained through physical examination and laboratory tests. Result: among the 277 people, overweight obesity was 63%, dyslipidemia 63%, hypertension 39.7%, NAFLD 37.1%, high uric acid 20.5%, abnormal liver function 15.1%, 2DM 11.1%. Based on ultrasound, persons were divided into NAFLD group and the control group. The average age, levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fast blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), uric acid (UA), creatinine (Cr), BMI, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspertate aminotransferase (AST) were significantly higher, and the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) significantly lower in NAFLD group than those of control group, P value in 0.01 <0.0001. The rates of hypertension, 2DM, high TG and low LDL-C, high UA, overweigh/obesity, high ALT, AST were significantly higher (OR 2.1 32) in NAFLD group than in the control group. Conclusions: NAFLD and cardiovascular disease risk factors on the civil servants of a town in Beijing Daxing District are significantly higher. NAFLD is closely related with the overweight obesity, blood pressure, blood lipid, blood sugar, uric acid and so on. Working at his desk for a long time, lack of physical exercise, overweight\obesity could be the leading cause for NAFLD and other metabolic diseases.
