Professor Cheol-young Park’s team from the Department of Endocrinology at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital announced their research results.
A study showed that the risk of developing cardiovascular disease increases when non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes coexist. In particular, patients with type 2 diabetes have been found to have a higher risk, so it appears that they will need to be more careful.
Kangbuk Samsung Hospital announced that Professor Cheol-young Park’s research team in the Department of Endocrinology confirmed this fact after analyzing the risk of cardiovascular disease according to diabetes and fatty liver index in about 77,000 adults using 2009 data from the National Health Insurance Service.
The research team divided the groups into ▲ group without fatty liver disease without diabetes ▲ group with stage 1 fatty liver disease without diabetes ▲ group with stage 2 fatty liver disease without diabetes ▲ group without fatty liver disease with diabetes ▲ group with stage 1 fatty liver disease with diabetes ▲ group with stage 2 fatty liver disease with diabetes, and divided the risk of developing cardiovascular disease into 5 groups. Follow-up was observed for one year.
According to the analysis results, compared to the group without both diabetes and fatty liver, ▲ 1.19 times in the stage 1 fatty liver group without diabetes ▲ 1.38 times in the stage 2 fatty liver group without diabetes ▲ 3.2 times in the group without fatty liver with diabetes ▲ 3.8 times in the stage 1 fatty liver group with diabetes. ▲In the stage 2 fatty liver group with diabetes, the risk increased 4.5 times.
Although many studies have been reported to show the relationship between fatty liver disease and diabetes, no large-scale follow-up study on the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes has been specifically reported.
Professor Cheol-young Park said, “The incidence and mortality rates of cardiovascular diseases increased depending on the severity of fatty liver, which is Fatty liver affects the development of not only liver disease but also other diseases“Research results showed that it has a negative impact,” he said. “In particular, Note that even if the level of fatty liver is low, the mortality rate increases significantly if diabetes is present.“It has to be done,” he explained. Following “In order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death in diabetic patients, early management and prevention based on fatty liver screening is necessary.He added, “I do it.”
Meanwhile, this study was published in the latest issue of the International British Medical Journal (BMJ), a world-renowned medical journal.
