Abstract

Aim: Insulin resistance (IR) is considered the main contributor to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Triglyceride (TG)-to-high- density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (TG/HDL-C) has been recommended as a surrogate index of IR. However, the association between TG/HDL-C and NAFLD is as yet unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of TG/HDL-C ratio with IR and NAFLD. Methods: The study population included 228 obese children and adolescents (59% girls, mean age: 12.52±2.94 years) and 46 lean subjects (57% girls, mean age: 12.53±3.30 years). The obese group was further stratified on the basis of NAFLD. Results: The TG/HDL-C ratio was higher in obese subjects compared with controls. The NAFLD group also had a significantly higher TG/ HDL-C ratio (3.20±1.9 vs. 2.35±1.09) than the non-NAFLD group. The TG/HDL ratio was correlated with alanine aminotransferase, cholesterol, glucose-to-insulin ratio (FIGR), homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index, and insulin. A cut-off value of 2.27 was used to define a high TG/HDL-C ratio. At multivariate logistic regression analysis, FIGR [odds ratio (OR)=4.20], HOMA-IR (OR=4.15), TG/HDL-C ratio (OR=2.8), HDL-C (OR=2.12), and ALT (OR=6.37) were associated with NAFLD. Conclusion: TG/HDL-C ratio is associated with various well-defined risk factors for NAFLD, and a value of >2.27 may be useful in identifying children at high risk for the condition.

Özet

Amaç: İnsülin direnci (İD) alkolik olmayan karaciğer hastalığı (AOYKH) için başlıca risk faktörü olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Trigliserid/yüksek yoğunluklu lipoprotein kolesterol oranı (TG/HDL-K) İD yerine kullanılabilen bir indeks olarak tanımlanmıştır. TG/HDL-K oranının AOYKH'da tanısal değeri ile ilgili çalışmalar ise sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı TG/HDL-K oranının İD ile AOYKH'deki tanısal değerinin belirlenmesidir.Yöntemler:­Çalışmaya 228 obez (%59 kız, ortalama yaş: 12,52±2,94) ile 46 sağlıklı (%57 kız, ortalama yaş: 12,53±3,30) çocuk ve ergen dahil edildi. Obez hasta grubu ultrason verilerine göre AOYKH olan ve olmayanlar olmak üzere iki alt gruba ayrıldılar.Bulgular: Obez grubun TG/HDL-K oranı sağlıklı grupla kıyaslandığında anlamlı oranda yüksek bulundu. Obez grup içinde de AOYKH olanlar (3,20±1,9) olmayanlara göre (2,35±1,09) yüksek TG/HDL-K oranına sahiptiler. TG/HDL-K oranı ile alanin aminotransferaz, kolesterol, glukoz insülin oranı, homeostaz model değerlendirmesi-IR (HOMA-IR), kantitatif insülin hassasiyet indeksi ve insülin seviyesi arasında anlamlı korelasyon olduğu görüldü. TG/HDL-K oranının 2,27'nin üzerinde olması yüksek olarak kabul edildi. Çok değişkenli bir analiz modelinde (yaş, cinsiyet, ergenlik durumu ve beden kitle indeksine göre ayarlama yapıldıktan sonra) AOYKH üzerine yüksek glukoz insülin oranı [olasılık oranı (OR)=4,20], HOMA-IR (OR=4,15), HDL (OR=2,12), ALT (OR=6,37) ve TG/HDL-K oranının (OR=2,8) bağımsız etkili olduğu bulundu.Sonuç:­ AOYKH için iyi bilinen risk faktörleri ile TG/HDL-K arasında anlamlı korelasyon vardır. TG/HDL-K oranı için >2,27 eşik değeri çocuklarda AOYKH için bağımsız bir risk faktörüdür.
