Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine fructose-rich food
consumption levels of individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAYKH)
and to determine the possible relationship between biochemical parameters and
anthropometric measurements.
         

 

Material and Methods: Individuals between 19-65 years of age with abdominal
ultrasonography (USG) with varying degrees of fatty tissue; mild steatosis
(grade 1, n=15), moderate steatosis (grade 2, n=15), severe steatosis (grade 3,
n=15) and no steatosis (grade 0, n=15). Nutritional status and 24-hour nutrient
consumption were recorded. Anthropometric measurements of individuals, some
biochemical findings, physical activity status and fructose-rich nutrition
status were investigated. 

 

Results: In this study, anthropometric measurements such as BMI, waist
circumference and waist/hip ratio increased with the increase in steatosis
degrees and were statistically significant (p<0.001). At physical activity
level, there is no significant difference between groups (p=0,099).

Daily fructose intake with nutrients is the lowest in
grade 0; Grade 2 and Grade 3 groups have similar amounts and higher than other
groups (p<0.001). The average daily consumption of fructose-rich
non-alcoholic beverages (soda and cola) was found to be at least in grade 0
(8.7 ± 5.7ml) and significantly higher in grade 3 (291 ± 33.5 ml), (p=0,001).
Furthermore, in the study individuals with fructose consumption ** BMI, **
waist circumference, * waist / hip ratio, * total cholesterol, ** uric acid, **
ALT, * AST, ** ALP, ** chocolate consumption amount, ** a significant positive
relationship was found between the consumption of ready-made fruit juice and
alcoholic beverages (* p <0.05, ** p <0.01).

 













Conclusion: In our study, there was a strong correlation between the degree
of steatosis and fructose consumption in individuals with NAYKH. It should be
kept in mind that excessive consumption of fructose with nutrients may pose a
risk for diseases such as obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver, metabolic
syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. The consumption of fructose in daily diet
should be provided from natural sources and excessive consumption should be
avoided.
