摘要

The aim of this study was to assess and compare fat content within the liver for normal (body mass index(BMI) < 25 kg/m2), overweight (25-30 kg/m2) and obese (≥ 30 kg/m2) subjects using a noninvasive, non-contrastcomputed tomography (CT) quantification method. Adult subjects aged 18-60 yrs scheduled to undergo CT examinationof the abdominal region were recruited for this study, stratified across BMI categories. Liver volume, fat content, and leanliver volume were determined using CT methods. A total of 100 subjects were recruited, including 30 normal weight, 31overweight, and 39 obese. Total liver volume increased with BMI, with mean values of 1138 ± 277, 1374 ± 331, and 1766± 389 cm3 for the normal, overweight, and obese, respectively (P < 0.001), which was due to an increase in both liver fatcontent and lean liver volume with BMI. Some obese subjects had no or minimal hepatic fat content. The prevalence ofmild fatty liver in this study of 100 subjects was overestimated for all BMI categories using a range of qualitativediagnostic measures, with predicted prevalence of fatty liver in obese subjects ranging from 76.9% for liver-to-spleenratio ≤ 1.1 to 89.7% for liver attenuation index (liver HU - spleen HU) ≤ 40, compared to 66.7% by quantification of fatcontent. Results show that total liver volume increases with BMI, however, not all obese subjects display fatty infiltrationof the liver. CT quantification of liver fat content may be suitable for accurate diagnosis of hepatic steatosis in clinicalpractice and assessment of donor livers for transplantation.
