Serum testosterone and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in men and women in the US
Liver International Apr 07, 2018
Yim JY, et al. - The tie-up between serum total testosterone and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was inspected by the researchers in adults in the US participating in 2011-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Exclusion criteria included individuals with significant alcohol consumption and those with viral hepatitis. Findings illustrated an inverse link between the prevalence of suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with the sex-specific quartiles of testosterone in men and women. The multivariate model disclosed a connection between low total testosterone levels with progressively higher odds of suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in men after adjusting for age, obesity and other metabolic risk factors. It was inferred that low total testosterone levels were related to suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in men and post-menopausal women independent of known risk factors.
