Association between Serum Ferritin Levels and Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease in Adults: a Cross-sectional Study Based on the NHANES
Objective Ferritin, initially acting as an iron-storage protein, was found to be associated with metabolic diseases. Our study was designed to investigate the association between serum ferritin and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of the United State of America. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, enrolling a total of 2145 participants from the NHANES in the 2017–2018 cycles. Hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis were assessed by ultrasound images and several non-invasive indexes. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the associations between serum ferritin concentration and MAFLD and liver fibrosis. Results The analysis revealed that participants with higher serum ferritin levels (Q3 and Q4 groups) had a higher prevalence of MAFLD than those with the lowest serum ferritin levels [Q3 vs. Q1: OR=2.17 (1.33, 3.53), Pvs. Q1: OR=3.13 (1.91, 5.13), Pvs. Q1: OR=2.59 (1.19, 5.62), PPP=0.012]. Conclusion Our study revealed that elevated serum ferritin levels are associated with a higher prevalence of MAFLD and advanced liver fibrosis in patients. Elevated serum ferritin levels combined with diabetes are important risk factors for liver fibrosis.
