Abstract

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the level of liver fat with anthropometric indicators, blood sugar, and blood fat in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional and prospective description of 142 type 2 diabetes patients undergoing Fibroscan ultrasound at Military Hospital 103 from April 2023 to February 2024. Results: The fatty liver index (CAP) had no relationship with age, HbA1c, and Triglyceride index. The CAP index in the female patient group (267.2 ± 62.3) increased higher than in the male patient group (238.1 ± 62.5). BMI and CAP have a moderate positive correlation with r = 0.316, p < 0.05. Fasting Blood Glucose and Cholesterol indexes have a slight positive correlation with CAP with r coefficients of 0.17 and 0.275, respectively. Conclusion: Fatty liver index on Fibroscan is related to BMI parameters, gender, fasting blood glucose, and blood cholesterol.
