Correlation between Fatty Liver Index and Obesity on the Incidence of Prediabetes, Type-II Diabetes, and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Our goal was to investigate the relationship between obesity and the fatty liver index and the prevalence of prediabetes, Type II diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants in this study had their ALT and GGT levels evaluated, and questionnaires, blood pressure readings, and venous blood samples were used to determine their body composition. The participants were subsequently separated into groups according to their FLI status and BMI. The results were almost the same as those of primary research. The effects of being overweight or obese were evaluated independently in comparison to those with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2 or less than 30 kg/m2. The features of the participants were compared using chi-square testing. Relationships between risk factors and future outcome groups were assessed using linear regression with age and sex adjustments. The study discovered that all risk factors, including body mass index (BMI) and adiposity indicators, were associated with ultrasound-diagnosed type II diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and that there were notable gender variations in BMI. Higher BMI was linked to a higher risk of prediabetes in people who were overweight or obese, but it was not substantially associated with prediabetes risk in those who were normal weight. We concluded that the probability of occurrence prediabetes or type II diabetes linked to being overweight or obese is considerably modulated by the degree of elevation of the FLI.
