Conjunctional Relationship between Serum Uric Acid and Serum Nickel with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Men: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Serum uric acid (SUA) and heavy metals are closely related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Yet, the conjunctional relationship between SUA and serum nickel (Ni) concentrations with the risk of NAFLD in men has not yet been investigated. Therefore, we designed this cross-sectional study to investigate the association of SUA or serum Ni with NAFLD in men. The cross-sectional study was based on data obtained from a prospective cohort study of common chronic non-communicable diseases in Central China, conducted in Xinxiang city, Central China's Henan Province, between April and June 2017. A total of 1709 male participants completed the physical examination. B-ultrasound was used to examine the liver and to diagnose NAFLD. Binary logistic regression models and restricted cubic spl
