[PMID: 38448943 PMCID: PMC10919055 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03315-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) shares common pathophysiological mechanisms with type 2 diabetes, making them significant risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The present study aimed to assess the epidemiological feature of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD at global levels. METHODS Published studies were searched for terms that included type 2 diabetes, and NAFLD or MAFLD using PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases from their inception to December 2022. The pooled global and regional prevalence and incidence density of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD were evaluated using random-effects meta-analysis. Potential sources of heterogeneity were investigated using stratified meta-analysis and meta-regression. RESULTS A total of 395 studies (6,878,568 participants with NAFLD; 1,172,637 participants with MAFLD) from 40 countries or areas were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of type 2 diabetes among NAFLD or MAFLD patients was 28.3% (95% confidence interval 25.2-31.6%) and 26.2% (23.9-28.6%) globally. The incidence density of type 2 diabetes in NAFLD or MAFLD patients was 24.6 per 1000-person year (20.7 to 29.2) and 26.9 per 1000-person year (7.3 to 44.4), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present study describes the global prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD. The study findings serve as a valuable resource to assess the global clinical and economic impact of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD.

Gastroenterol Rep (Oxf) 2023; 11:goad054. [PMID: 37705510 PMCID: PMC10495696 DOI: 10.1093/gastro/goad054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common liver disease, the risk of which can be increased by poor diet. The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations between food items and MAFLD, and to propose reasonable dietary recommendations for the prevention of MAFLD. Methods Physical examination data were collected from April 2015 through August 2017 at Nanping First Hospital (n = 3,563). Dietary intakes were assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The association between food intake and the risk of MAFLD was assessed by using the inverse probability weighted propensity score. Results Beverages (soft drinks and sugar-sweetened beverages) and instant noodles were positively associated with MAFLD risk, adjusting for smoking, drinking, tea intake, and weekly hours of physical activity [adjusted odds ratio (ORadjusted): 1.568; P = 0.044; ORadjusted: 4.363; P = 0.001]. Milk, tubers, and vegetables were negatively associated with MAFLD risk (ORadjusted: 0.912; P = 0.002; ORadjusted: 0.633; P = 0.007; ORadjusted: 0.962; P = 0.028). In subgroup analysis, the results showed that women [odds ratio (OR): 0.341, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.172-0.676] had a significantly lower risk of MAFLD through consuming more tubers than men (OR: 0.732, 95% CI: 0.564-0.951). Conclusions These findings suggest that reducing consumption of beverages (soft drinks and sugar-sweetened beverages) and instant noodles, and consuming more milk, vegetables, and tubers may reduce the risk of MAFLD.

The independent and combined effects of dietary and sleep patterns on the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease: a population-based cohort study. Food Funct 2023; 14:7146-7155.

Abstract
Background & aims: accumulating evidence shows that various sleep behaviors are related to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and that diet plays an important role in both preventing and treating this condition. However, the overall effect of a healthy sleep pattern and its joint effect with diet on the risk of MAFLD remain unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the independent and combined effects of dietary and sleep patterns on the MAFLD risk. Methods: this population-based prospective cohort study was conducted in China with a sample size of 13 687 participants. MAFLD was diagnosed through abdominal ultrasound and international expert consensus. Five healthy sleep behaviors were identified to create a healthy sleep pattern, while factor analysis was used to determine dietary patterns. Cox proportional hazards regression was utilized to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: during a total of 49 912 person-years of follow-up, 2977 new cases of MAFLD were identified. The adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of MAFLD in relation to the healthy sleep pattern score were 0.87 (0.78-0.97), 0.83 (0.75-0.92), and 0.77 (0.68-0.87) for scores of 3, 4, and 5, respectively, compared to participants with the lowest score (0-2). A higher intake of animal food (adjusted HR4th quartile vs. 1st quartile, 1.15, 95% CI, 1.03-1.27) and a lower intake of vegetables (adjusted HR4th quartile vs. 1st quartile, 0.88, 95% CI, 0.78-0.99) were associated with a higher risk of MAFLD. Participants who adhered to both healthy dietary and sleep patterns had the lowest MAFLD risk compared to those who followed only one or neither of them. Conclusions: a healthy sleep pattern, especially in combination with a healthy diet, was associated with a lower risk of MAFLD. Future prevention strategies for MAFLD should include consideration of sleep behaviors, in addition to the current recommendations.

Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2023; 200:110699. [PMID: 37169306 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2023.110699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is limited data regarding the risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) among lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) individuals. We performed a meta-analysis of relevant studies. Research design and methods We collected data using PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and Web of Science from the databases' inception until December 2022. We included cohort studies in which lean NAFLD was diagnosed through imaging methods or biopsy. Eligible studies were selected according to predefined keywords and clinical outcomes. RESULTS A total of 16 observational studies with 304,975 adult individuals (7.7% with lean NAFLD) and nearly 1300 cases of incident diabetes followed up over a median period of 5.05 years were included in the final analysis. Patients with lean NAFLD had a greater risk of incident diabetes than those without NAFLD (random-effects hazard ratio [HR] 2.72, 95% CI 1.56-4.74; I2 = 93.8%). Compared with the lean without NAFLD group, the adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of incident diabetes for participants in the overweight/obese without NAFLD and overweight/obese with NAFLD groups were 1.32 (0.99- 1.77) and 2.98(1.66-5.32). It appeared to be even greater among NAFLD patients with advanced high NAFLD fibrosis score (random-effects HR 3.48, 95% CI 1.92-6.31). Sensitivity analyses and publication bias did not alter these findings. CONCLUSIONS Lean NAFLD is significantly associated with at least twofold increased risk of incident diabetes in non-overweight subjects. This risk parallels the underlying severity of NAFLD. The presence of NAFLD in non-overweight individuals had a more significant impact on the development of diabetes than being overweight itself.
