Abstract :

BACKGRAUND- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now the most frequent chronic liver disease that occurs across all age groups and is recognized to occur in 14%-30% of the general population, representing a serious and growing clinical problem due to the growing prevalence of obesity and overweight. OBJECTIVE – To diagnose fatty liver by ultrasonography in medical students and to determine the association of risk factors with the fatty liver and assess the correlation between ultrasonographic graded fatty liver and degree of obesity and physical activity. MATERIAL & METHODS – This is a cross sectional study performed in 210 medical students, after obtaining written informed consent. A detailed structured proforma was used, with special emphasis on presenting complaints, dietary, history, past history, family history of obesity, hypertension or diabetes, smoking, alcohol and duration of sleep. Physical examination was performed to assess hepatomegaly, splenomegaly or other signs of liver disease. The results were recorded on Microsoft excel 2007 sheet using windows XP. Mean values, standard deviation, correlation value (r) and charts were calculated using Microsoft excel sheet, P value was calculated by using Analysis of variance test (ANOVA) on anovaonline software and p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULT- In this study out of total non alcoholic male, only 8.9% and 7.1 % of non alcoholic female are found to have fatty liver finding. Among the alcoholic group male are found to have 33.3% and female have found to have 80% of fatty liver finding. In this study about 24% of smokers and 14.6% non smokers had fatty liver finding. In most of cases with over calorie consumption there is increasing trends of fatty liver finding, with more calorie consumption. CONCLUSSION- This study concludes that incidence of fatty liver is higher in subjects with risk factor like obesity low physical activities , high alcohol consumption , smoking and high dietary intakes .The family history of obesity , hypertension and diabetes mellitus has higher impact on finding of fatty liver.
