BackgroundNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the one of the most common form of chronic liver disease in China, so it is important to apply bio-marker in predict the development of NAFLD.AimsThis study aims to evaluate association between plateletcrit (PCT) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Chinese female adults.MethodsNAFLD was defined as per ultrasound in this study and 9737 NAFLD-free female subjects from Wenzhou People's Hospital were followed for five years in average in the study. The determination of NAFLD PCT quartiles (Q1 to Q4) were defined: 0–0.16, 0.17–0.18, 0.19–0.21, ≥ 0.22. With Q1 used as reference, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and hazard ratios (HRs) in different models were computed across each quartile.ResultsFrom Q1 to Q4, the incidence ratios (95% CIs) were 8.30 (7.14–9.47), 11.51 (10.12–12.89), 12.68 (11.47–13.89) and 16.46 (15.03–17.88). Simply considering PCT, in the longitudinal population, values in Q2, Q3 and Q4 had HRs (95% CIs) are 1.51 (1.25–1.84), 1.72 (1.44–2.06) and 2.34 (1.96–2.79) versus Q1. After adjusting for all known confounding variables, values in Q2, Q3 and Q4 had HRs (95% CIs) of 1.31 (1.08–1.60), 1.30 (1.09–1.56) and 1.54 (1.29–1.84) in females compared with Q1.ConclusionsWe reported that elevated serum PCT levels are considered as an independently significant predictor for NAFLD development in females. The high PCT level contributes to the development of NAFLD.
