February 2021
Background: Although thyroid function has been demonstrated to be associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in different population, the prevalence and features of NAFLD in hyperthyroidism have not been reported. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of NAFLD and association of thyroid function and NAFLD in hyperthyroidism patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between lipid profiles, specifically LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and triglyceride levels, and type 2 diabetes in hypertensive patients.
- A total of 935 hypertensive patients without diabetes were analyzed, revealing that 12.2% had developed diabetes, with LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and triglycerides showing strong correlations with this condition.
- The findings suggest that higher LDL-C/HDL-C ratios and triglyceride levels increase the risk of diabetes in individuals with hypertension, with interactions between these factors also playing a significant role.
