Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and sarcopenia have a close association with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This study investigated the influence of NAFLD and sarcopenia on ASCVD risk. Data from the 2008-2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys database were analyzed (n = 7,191). The sarcopenia index was calculated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Sarcopenia was defined as the lowest quintile sarcopenia index value (cutoffs = 0.882 for men and 0.582 for women). NAFLD was defined as a comprehensive NAFLD score ≥40. Liver fibrosis was assessed using the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index. ASCVD risk was evaluated using American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines. High probability of ASCVD was defined as ASCVD risk >10%. The prevalence rates of NAFLD and sarcopenia were 31.2% (n = 2,241) and 19.5% (n = 1,400), respectively. The quartile-stratified ASCVD risk scores were positively associated with NAFLD and sarcopenia (all P for trend < 0.001). Subjects with both NAFLD and sarcopenia had a higher risk for high probability of ASCVD (odds ratio = 1.83, P = 0.014) compared with controls without NAFLD and sarcopenia. Among subjects with NAFLD, FIB...Continue Reading
