Research Abstract

This study was attached to a population-based survey of 300 men and its follow up survey after 7 years. We examined the relationship between fat deposition in liver and lipid profile changes by NMR(nuclear magnetic resonance) of both surveys. As a result, progress of the fat deposition in liver of the follow-up survey was related to the smallness of the LDL particle sizes of the baseline/follow up surveys and the greatness of the LDL particle densities at the follow up survey. By this study, the relationships between the progress of the fat deposition in liver and the lipid profile changes over time were clarified.
