Abstract
Objective: To understand the prevalence rate of fatty liver among employees of a power plant in Wuhu City and analyze its influencing factors.
Methods: The health examination results of 1,818 employees of a power plant in Wuhu City with complete data in 2015 were collected and statistically analyzed.
Results: A total of 691 cases of fatty liver were detected with a prevalence rate of 38.01%. Among them, there were 499 male cases with a prevalence rate of 43.77%. There were 192 female cases with a prevalence rate of 28.32%. There was a statistically significant comparison of the prevalence of fatty liver between men and women (p<0.01). The prevalence of fatty liver in men is 1.55 times that in women. The prevalence of fatty liver increases with age (p<0.01). The prevalence of fatty liver in men before the age of 60 was significantly higher than that in women (p<0.01). The prevalence of fatty liver in women was higher than that in men after the age of 60 (p>0.05). The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, gallbladder diseases, and abnormal liver function in the fatty liver group were significantly higher than those in the non-fatty liver group (p<0.01). The prevalence of abnormal electrocardiogram in the fatty liver group was significantly lower than that in the non-fatty liver group (p<0.01). The levels of age, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and uric acid (UA) in the fatty liver group were significantly higher than those in the non-fatty liver group (p<0.05). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the fatty liver group was significantly lower than that in the non-fatty liver group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The prevalence of fatty liver among employees in a power plant in Wuhu City is relatively high. Body mass index, blood lipid, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood uric acid levels are closely related to the occurrence of fatty liver. Losing weight, controlling high blood lipid, and maintaining normal blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood uric acid levels are important measures for the prevention and treatment of fatty liver.
