## Objective: To investigate whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is associated with insulin resistance (ir) in a young hispanic population. ## Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in bogotΓ‘, colombia, during 2006 in 263 males from the colombian air force (age range 29-54 ye
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a burgeoning medical problem that affects 20%-34% of the population in Western countries. 1 Although the prevalence of NAFLD is somewhat lower in Asia, the frequency is increasing, and the disorder is now being seen in younger individuals. 2,3 NAFLD is a m
Inherited factors play a major role in the predisposition to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the rs738409 CfiG polymorphism of PNPLA3/adiponutrin, encoding for the isoleucine-to-methionine substitution at residue 148 (I148M) protein variant, has recently been recognized as a major dete
