Abstract

There were many studies about correlation between fatty liver and serum triglyceride level. However, we have experienced many fatty liver patients that actually did not show high serum triglyceride level. So, we conducted this study to reconfirm the con-elation between fatty liver and serum triglyceride level. We randomly selected 118 patients in Health Examination Center. We divided the selected materials into the patient and control group by the level of fasting serum triglyceride level, 200mg/d.L. We analyzed frequency and distribution of factors(age, body mass index, alcohol, diabetes mellitus) related to fatty liver between patient and control group. Then we analyzed odd ratio of fatty liver among two groups. There were 22 peoples in patient group and 96 people in control group. There were no statistical differences in the mean body mass index, the frequency of overweight, the frequency of alcohol users, the mean fasting serum glucose, and the frequency of diabetes mellitus patients between patient and control group. The odd ratio of fatty liver among two groups did not mean statistical difference. However, there was statistical significant difference in the frequency of body mass index on the base of multiple logistic regression analysis of serum triglyceride level, body mass index, and frequency of diabetes mellitus, and alcohol users between patient and control group. There was no correlation between fatty liver and serum triglyceride. But there was correlation between fatty liver and body mass index.
