| Sumario: | Introduction: Non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis is defined by the intrahepatic fat accumulation, and can be classified into three levels determined according to the proportion of fat-containing liver cells. The disease seems to be more prevalent in individuals with altered anthropometric profile, especially with high abdominal circumference and obesity, and some biochemical parameters. Objective: To describe the clinical and anthropometric profile of patients with non - alcoholic hepatic steatosis. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, whose data were demographic (age and gender), clinical (biochemical exams and diagnosis of pathologies) and anthropometric (weight, height and circumference of the abdomen). The descriptive analysis of the variables was performed through the SPSS 20.0 program and the results are expressed in absolute and relative numbers. Results: Data were collected from 10 patients of both genders between the ages of 35 and 66 years. Most of them presented a diagnosis of grade II non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, and the means obtained in the biochemical tests were higher in these subjects. As to the anthropometric profile, all participants were overweight, 70% of them were classified as obese, and all participants had altered abdomen circumference. Conclusion: In the studied population, the prevalence of male gender, obesity, high abdomen circumference and grade II of liver disease were found as profile. |
