Association Between Pulmonary Function and Nonalcoholic Fatty XXXX in the NHANES III Study.

@entity1 @entity1560 @entity73 @entity409 @entity1561
Emerging evidence indicates that @entity1561 ( @entity1561 ) is associated with a wide variety of extrahepatic complications. However, the potential association between @entity73 and @entity1561 has been less investigated. This study examined the relationship between pulmonary function and @entity1560 in 9976 adults participating in a cross-sectional analysis of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). @entity1561 was defined as @entity1560 presented on ultrasound examinations in the absence of other known @entity409 . The associations between predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)% or predicted forced vital capacity (FVC)% and @entity1561 were examined using multivariable linear regression while controlling for confounders. The association between obstructive or restrictive spirometry patterns and @entity1561 was also evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analysis. After adjustment for multiple covariates, predicted FEV1% and FVC% were significantly and inversely associated with the degree of @entity1560 (P for trend <0.001 for both). The restrictive lung pattern was significantly related to @entity1 with moderate and severe @entity1560 as compared with those without @entity1560 (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.14-2.39 and OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.13-2.82), whereas the obstructive lung pattern was not associated with the presence of @entity1560 . Individuals with a greater degree of @entity1560 were at greater risk for poor pulmonary function, especially in restrictive pattern. These novel findings demonstrate that @entity73 is also an extrahepatic complication of @entity1561 .
