摘要：A significant proportion of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Asian sub-continent are non-overweight and may have different underlying risk factors, lifestyles and metabolic profiles. Seven hundred fifty patients of NAFLD with raised alanine-amino-transferase (ALT) were divided into non-overweight and obese group based on their body mass index (BMI). Detailed dietary and lifestyle history were obtained through questionnaires and a detailed assessment of metabolic profile and liver stiffness was done. Normal BMI ( 2 were significantly higher in obese group (4.1 ± 0.36 vs. 2.0 ± 0.15 p = 0.001). Insulin resistance and dyslipidemia were prevalent in 12% and 25% non-overweight patients respectively. Metabolic syndrome was more common in obese subjects. In addition, magnetic resonance elastography showed higher mean liver fat in the obese group with similar hepatic fibrosis. Non-overweight patients with NAFLD had lower insulin resistance and prevalence of dyslipidaemia at similar dietary and exercise pattern.
