Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a term for a series of diseases caused by fat accumulation in the liver
.
Unlike fatty liver, which is mainly caused by excessive alcohol consumption, it is usually seen in people who are overweight or obese
However, a study found an association between tooth loss and NAFLD
.
Long-term oral chronic inflammation is closely related to systemic inflammation, which is the main mechanism of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD), the researchers wrote
.
They went on to say: tooth loss may reflect the accumulation of local inflammation in the oral cavity, which means that the number of missing teeth may be related to NAFLD
.
To test this hypothesis, the researchers evaluated the relationship between tooth loss and NAFLD in the general population
.
A cross-sectional study of 24 women, 470 adults from the chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and health cohort study
.
A large-scale ongoing study is investigating the relationship between chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and the health status of the population in Tianjin, China
.
Record the number of self-reported missing teeth (excluding third molars) and divide them into four categories: 0, 1-2, 3-5, and 6+
.
NAFLD is diagnosed by liver ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to produce images of internal organs and other tissues
.
The number of missing teeth is related to the higher incidence of NAFLD in men, but not in women
.
It is worth noting that there are usually no symptoms of NAFLD in the early stages
.
Unless NAFLD is diagnosed during the test for other reasons, you may not know that you have NAFLD
.
NAFLD is usually diagnosed after a month.
The NHS explained that a blood test called a liver function test produces abnormal results, and other liver diseases (such as hepatitis) are excluded
.
But blood tests do not always detect NAFLD
.
As the NHS explained, this condition may also be found during an ultrasound scan of the abdomen
.
If you are diagnosed with NAFLD, further tests may be needed to determine which stage you are in
.
The healthy body added that this may involve a special blood test or another type of ultrasound scan (fiber scan)
If you have NAFLD, you can change your life>
Losing weight can stop the progression of NAFLD, Bupa said
A healthy body explains that this can reverse some accumulation of fat and even some fibrosis in the liver
But don't lose weight too fast, because this may cause liver problems, it warns
The goal is 0.
