Baseline and change in serum lipid and uric acid level over time and incident of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Chinese adults.

ABSTRACT: Observational studies have shown that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction. However, there is a paucity of research on whether changes in indicators of serum metabolism contribute to the development of NAFLD. This study was conducted with 4084 participants who underwent healthy physical examinations at Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China, in 2022 and 2023. Baseline and follow-up measurements, including anthropometric data, abdominal ultrasound and blood samples were collected. The diagnosis of NAFLD was based on the 2010 Chinese Guidelines on Diagnosis and Treatment of NAFLD. Multiple logistic regression was utilized to analyze the odds ratios (ORs) for the 1-year risk of NAFLD in
