Relationship between drinking frequency and fatty liver prevalence or incidence in Japanese undergoing health checkup in 2008-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

The relationship between the frequency of drinking and fatty liver in the general population is still poorly understood. This study analysed data from a large cohort who underwent health checkups in Japan between 2008 and 2019 to investigate the prevalence and incidence of fatty liver by alcohol consumption and risk factors for fatty liver.

Methods

The prevalence of fatty liver diagnosed with ultrasonography was calculated in 75,670 residents. The incidence of fatty liver in 31,062 residents who underwent ultrasonography at least twice during the period without fatty liver at the first time was calculated using the person-year method. Multivariate logistic analysis was performed to investigate risk factors associated with the prevalence and incidence of fat
