Abstract :
INTRODUCTION :–In apparently healthy individualsThe presence of Non–alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a common benign finding in the ultrasonography reports and is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension. These conditions cluster to form the metabolic syndrome, which carries a high risk for cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia is also a growing problem in india and a risk factor also for cardiovascular diseases.
AIM/OBJECTIVE:–To find out correlation of non–alcoholic fatty liver disease with total cholesterol and triglyceride in general population by means of non–invasive methods. And To evaluate total cholesterol and triglycerideas a risk factors for the development of non–alcoholic fatty liver disease in general population
MATERIAL & METHOD:–All adults patient attending the Medicine OPD of SAMC & PGI in 1½ year duration were enrolled in the study.Detailed history and clinical examination was done and Ultrasonography of whole abdomen and lipid profile was done for all the patients included in study.
RESULT:–We foundThemean cholesterol level in NAFLD group was 165.7±63.7 and non fatty liver group was 126.1±41.6with p–value<0.005 which shows it was significantly higher in NAFLD group than non–NAFLD group.
The mean value of Triglyceride in those with fatty liver was 162.4±77.8 mg/dl as compared to 130.4±51.9mg/dl with p–value 0.001 suggestive of higher level of Triglyceride ‘in those having fatty liver
CONCLUSION:–The total cholesterol and triglyceride are having positive correlation with NAFLD in our study so that public health initiatives and long term preventive strategies hold the key to halt or reverse the pandemic of obesity and possible onset of NAFLD in our society
