CORRELATION OF ABDOMINAL FAT ACCUMULATION ON ULTRASOUND IMAGES WITH ANTHROPOMETRIC INDEX IN LIVER STEATOSIS PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
STEATOSIS PATIENTS
Objectives: Determine the correlation of abdominal fat accumulation on ultrasound images with anthropometry in liver steatosis patients. Subjects and methods: The descriptive study cross-sectioned 200 patients with fatty liver and non-fatty liver by measuring indicators: height (H), weight (W), waist circumference (W), buttocks (B) circumference, BMI, waist / buttocks ratio, subcutaneous fat thickness (S), peritoneal fat thickness (P), visceral fat thickness (V). Result and conclusion: Subcutaneous fat thickness with peritoneal fat thickness (r = 0.23; p <0.05) and Subcutaneous fat thickness with visceral fat thickness (r = 0.18; p < 0.05) low correlation; peritoneal fat thickness with visceral fat thickness (r = 0.42; p <0.05) medium correlation. Medium positive correlation between visceral fat thickness with weight (r = 0.48), waist circumference (r = 0.47) and BMI (r = 0.42), p <0.05; There is a low positive correlation between subcutaneous fat thickness (S), peritoneal fat thickness (P) with height (H), weight (W), waist circumference (W), buttocks (B) circumference, BMI, p> 0.05.
