Accumulation of excess fat in the liver is regarded as a clinical feature of insulin resistance and is known to be associated with metabolic syndrome components such as abdominal obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.

متن کاملIncreased Levels of Systolic Blood Pressure Within the Normal Range Are Associated With Significantly Elevated Risks of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
A positive association between hypertension or high-normal blood pressure (BP) and risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is well-known; however, no data have been generated exploring the risk of NAFLD within the normal range of BP. We aimed to assess the association between normal systolic blood pressure (SBP) and risk of NAFLD.A total of 27,769 subjects from 2 separate medical cente...
