Association between remnant lipoprotein cholesterol levels and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese populations: a Chinese longitudinal prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The association between remnant lipoprotein cholesterol (RLP-C) levels and the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unclear, especially in non-obese populations.

Setting

We used data from a health assessment database. The assessment was conducted at the Wenzhou Medical Center from January 2010 to December 2014. The patients were divided into low, middle and high RLP-C groups according to tertiles of RLP-C, and baseline metabolic parameters were compared among the three groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to evaluate the relationship between RLP-C and NAFLD incidence. Additionally, sex-specific associations between RLP-C and NAFLD were examined.
