摘要
Background Despite substantial attention paid to the epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults, data on the burden and sexual dimorphism of NAFLD in Asian children have not yet been synthesized. Methods We conducted a literature search of 735 references up to April 2021. Pooled analyses, stratified analyses and meta-regression were all performed. Results Thirty-three study populations were finally included. Nine of them comprising 20 595 children showed an overall NAFLD prevalence of 5.53% (95% CI 3.46%-8.72%), in which, 36.64% (95% CI, 27.99%-46.26%) NAFLD subjects had elevated levels of ALT. The prevalence rate of NAFLD increased about 1.6-fold from 2004 to 2010 to the last decade. Male predominant trends were observed in paediatric NAFLD (boys: 8.18%, 95% CI 4.93%-13.26%; girls: 3.60%, 95% CI 1.60%-7.87%). Moreover, meta-analysis showed that after 10 years of age, boys were more prone to have NAFLD than girls (OR = 1.75; P = .0012). In addition, the pooled prevalence of NAFLD increased sequentially in normal-weight (1.49%, 95% CI 0.88%-2.51%, n = 2610), overweight (16.72%, 95% CI 7.07%-34.65%, n = 1265) and obese children (50.13%, 95% CI 41.99%-58.27%, n = 6434 individuals). After full covariate adjustment, the multivariate meta-regression also showed that boy percentage (P = .0396) and body mass index (P < .0001) were positively correlated with prevalent NAFLD. Conclusions In Asia, paediatric NAFLD is becoming prevalent over the recent decades, particularly among obese children and boys after 10 years old. The hormonal and chromosomal origins of paediatric NAFLD dimorphism need further investigation.
