About

Excessive or insufficient levels of vitamins in the body can affect health. With the prevalence of obesity and MetS, NAFLD has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease and abnormal liver biochemical indicators in health examinations in China. The current research results on serum vitamin A, D, and E levels in NAFLD patients are controversial. Therefore, this study mainly explores the correlation between serum FSV levels and NAFLD, providing reference for nutrition and clinical management of NAFLD patients.

Full description

This is a single center cross-sectional study. In this study, 4000 eligible patients will be recruited and demographic information and clinical data of all study subjects will be collected. According to the results of abdominal ultrasound, the patients were divided into NAFLD group and non NAFLD group. The levels of fat soluble vitamins in the two groups were compared to explore the correlation between different concentrations of fat soluble vitamin levels and the risk of NAFLD.
