Abstract

In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between steatotic liver disease (SLD) and retinal abnormalities in a cohort undergoing health screening. Our study included 353,607 participants who underwent fundus photography and abdominal ultrasonography at least once at the Kangbuk Samsung Health Promotion Center from 2002 to 2022. After adjusting for age and sex, the risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) significantly increased with the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, and metabolic dysfunction-associated SLD, with odds ratios of 1.259 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.050 to 1.510), 1.498 (95% CI, 1.249 to 1.796), and 1.342 (95% CI, 1.121 to 1.605), respectively. However, these associations weakened after adjusting for body mass index. No statistically significant associations were observed with other retinal disorders after adjusting for age, sex, and other confounding factors. Our findings suggest that obesity may mediate the relationship between SLD and RVO, while other retinal abnormalities may be more closely associated with known risk factors rather than SLD itself.

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to set high standards of medical care by providing a forum for discussion for basic, clinical, and translational researchers and clinicians on new findings in the fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Endocrinology and Metabolism reports new findings and developments in all aspects of endocrinology and metabolism. The topics covered by this journal include bone and mineral metabolism, cytokines, developmental endocrinology, diagnostic endocrinology, endocrine research, dyslipidemia, endocrine regulation, genetic endocrinology, growth factors, hormone receptors, hormone action and regulation, management of endocrine diseases, clinical trials, epidemiology, molecular endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, obesity, pediatric endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, signal transduction, the anatomy and physiology of endocrine organs (i.e., the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, and the gonads), and endocrine diseases (diabetes, nutrition, osteoporosis, etc.).
