    AbstractObjective: To investigate the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Methods: A total of 223 hospitalized patients were recruited between January 2007 and June 2009 in Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University. Finally, 142 patients with complete clinical data and without history of drinking were included in this study. According to the Chinese Medical Association's Guidelines of NAFLD, based on the result of ultrasound, all subjects were divided into two groups including patients with LADA and NAFLD (n=37) and patients with LADA but without NAFLD (n=105). Clinical data including diabetes duration, history of smoking and medications, height, weight, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood glucose, C-peptide, and liver and kidney function were collected. The prevalence and components of MetS were compared between two groups. The association between MetS and NAFLD was also explored. Results: After adjusting for age and sex, compared with the subjects without NAFLD, the subjects with NAFLD were older and had higher percentage of hypertension, and had higher body mass index[(26.5±3.7) kg/m(2) vs (21.9±3.1) kg/m(2)], waist-hip ratio(0.92±0.06 vs 0.86±0.07), low density lipoprotein cholesterol[(3.26±0.72) mmol/L vs (2.70±0.87) mmol/L], C-reactive protein, fasting C-peptide, 2 h postprandial C-peptide, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, alanine aminotransferase and triglyceride (all P<0.05). But they had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol[(1.17±0.43) mmol/L vs (1.35±0.40) mmol/L]and HbA1c[(8.83±2.14) % vs (10.02±2.79)%](both P<0.05). In addition, after adjusting for age and sex, compared with the patients with LADA but without NAFLD, the prevalence of MetS in the patients with LADA and NAFLD was obviously higher (97.3% vs 47.6%, P<0.001), and the proportion of the patients with four (32.4% vs 16.2%, P<0.001) and five (43.2% vs 5.7%, P<0.001) components of MetS in the patients with LADA and NAFLD was also significantly increased than that in the patients with LADA but without NAFLD. Binary regression analysis showed that NAFLD was an independent factor associated with MetS in the patients with LADA after correcting other confounding factors (P<0.001). Conclusions: Compared with the patients with LADA but without NAFLD, the prevalence of MetS was obviously higher, and had more serious metabolic disorder in the patients with LADA and NAFLD. The presence of NAFLD was an independent factor associated with MetS in the patients with LADA.
