The subjects were divided into three groups according to the change in their SV ratio: improved, stable, or worsened, and the changes in parameters associated with NAFLD were compared among the groups.Results: In the group with a worsened SV ratio, visceral fat area increased (122±30–138±30 cm2,; mean ± SD), whereas total muscle mass decreased (26.5±6.1–25.9±5.9 kg), which was especially noticeable in the lower extremities (14.8±3.3–14.3±3.1 kg). In accordance with the change of body composition, transient elastography showed higher levels of liver stiffness (7.7±5.4–9.0±6.0 kPa) and fat accumulation (265±43–293±48 dB/m). There were also higher levels of fasting plasma glucose (115±29–126±40 mg/dL) and HbA1c (6.0±1.1–6.3±1.0%). In contrast, deterioration in these parameters did not occur in the groups with improved or stable SV ratios.Conclusion: Collectively, a progressive reduction in skeletal muscle mass accompanied by an increase in visceral fat mass during the clinical course of NAFLD is associated with a worsening of the hepatic conditions, fat accumulation and progression of fibrosis.Keywords: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratio, sarcopenic obesity, hepatic steatosis, hepatic fibrosis, clinical courseShida TOshida NOh SOkada KShoda JDove Medical PressarticleNon-alcoholic fatty liver diseaseSkeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratioSarcopenic obesityHepatic steatosisHepatic fibrosisClinical courseSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 495-503 (2019)
