Independent Risk Factors

The association between white blood cell (WBC) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been studied before, but whether different WBC subtypes were related to NAFLD was not detailed. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between WBC subtypes and NAFLD cross-sectionally and prospectively. The detailed research design has been described previously. At baseline, there were 9930 participants who had complete information, in the end a total of 8079 participants (2588 men and 5491 women) were eventually included in this study. Hepatic ultrasound examination was performed on each participant at baseline and at the end of follow-up. Alcohol abuse and hepatitis were excluded. WBC subtypes and other serum indices were measured at baseline. We found that the total WBC, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts were independently associated with the prevalence and incidence of NAFLD. After multiple adjustments for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), insulin, HOMA-IR, TG, TC, LDL, and HDL, increased odds ratios (ORs) for new onset NAFLD were observed from the 1st to the 4th quartiles of WBC, neutrophil, and lymphocyte (all P < 0.001 for trend). In conclusion, total WBC counts, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were all independent risk factors for NAFLD in the rural Chinese population. The association was independent of insulin resistance.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver

Aims. Chronic low-grade inflammation is thought to be associated with the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to determine the association between serum white blood cell (WBC) counts and the development of incidental NAFLD.Methods. In this retrospective longitudinal cohort study, we recruited participants who underwent abdominal ultrasonography and blood samplings during medical checkups in both 2005 and 2010. A total of 2,216 subjects were included in our analyses.Results. The prevalence of NAFLD in 2010 increased steadily in conjunction with increasing WBC counts in 2005 after adjustment for body mass index (BMI) [odds ratio (OR) 2.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.49–4.00 for women and OR 2.42, 95% CI = 1.61–3.63 for men, lowest quartile versus highest quartile]. Multivariate regression analysis after adjusting for age, BMI, hypertension, smoking, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and glucose levels revealed that NAFLD was significantly associated with the highest WBC quartile compared to the lowest quartile [OR 1.85, 95% CI, 1.10−3.10 for women and OR 1.68, 95% CI, 1.08−2.61 for men].Conclusions. We demonstrated that the risk of developing NAFLD was significantly associated with WBC counts independently of metabolic factors. This finding provides novel evidence indicating that serum WBC counts may be potential surrogate markers of NAFLD.
