The Morbidity and Comorbidity of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Different Glucose Intolerance Strata in a Community-Based Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the morbidity and comorbidity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and different glucose intolerance strata in a community-based population and to explore the association between glucose tolerance levels and NAFLD. Methods: A community-based cohort established for Pinggu Metabolic Disease Study in a suburb of Beijing, China, was established from September 2013 to July 2014 using a random sampling method. Participants were eligible if they were born in Pinggu and had been living there for at least 5 years within the age range of 26-76 years. A 75 grams oral glucose tolerance test was used to determine the strata of glucose tolerance. Unenhanced abdominal computed tomography scan was performed to identify NAFLD. Results:<
