Clin Gastroenterology H: Alcohol intake in non-alcoholic fatty liver patients is associated with liver fat degeneration

Background and objectiveswe know that many people withnon-alcoholic fatty liverdisease (NAFLD) also consume the right amount of alcoholLittle is known about how drinking patterns or alcohol consumption behavior in NAFLD patients affect liver fatTherefore, the purpose of this study is to carry out relevant researchMethod
researchers conducted cross-sectional studies of liver fat degeneration on 2,475 participants through computertomizing scans, and a logical regression model of multivariate adjustments to assess the relationship between drinking patterns and liver fat degenerationSociodemographic factors, diet andmetabolic syndromecomponents were adjusted for the modelThe researchers also excluded heavy drinkersresultsthe average age of all participants in the study was 49.8 to 10.2 years, 50.3 percent for women and 17.5 percent for liver and fatty degenerationThe total number of alcoholic beverages per week and the maximum amount of alcohol consumed per day were associated with liver fat degeneration (adjusted advantage ratio was 1.15; 95% CI was 1.02-1.29 and aOR 1.15; 95% CI was 1.02-1.30) In presumed NAFLD patients, the proportion of overeating was 25.4 per cent and the risk of liver fat degeneration increased in alcoholics (aOR was 1.45; 95 per cent CI was 1.06-1.98) In the analysis of beverages, the pattern of drinking was associated with liver fat degeneration of beer drinkers, but not to wine drinkers conclusions
in this study researchers observed a link between alcohol consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease Therefore, alcohol consumption appears to be a risk factor for NAFLD
