Purpose of the study. Search for the relationship between cardiometabolic risk factors and 25(OH)D levels in young men with NAFLD. Materials and methods. A one-time study was carried out. The study included 102 men aged 18 to 44 years with no complaints and a verified diagnosis of NAFLD. NAFLD was confirmed in 70 people. All patients were divided into two groups: group I - persons with NAFLD (n=70); group II - persons without NAFLD (n=32); age differences are not statistically significant. All patients included in the study underwent laboratory and instrumental examination. Results. In 68.6% of men aged 18 to 44 years who had no previous complaints and a verified diagnosis of NAFLD, this diagnosis was made, of which steatosis of the liver was diagnosed in 100% of cases, NASH was diagnosed in 60.0%, in 34, 3% liver fibrosis on the background of steatosis and NASH, pathological changes in the liver in most cases were of a combined nature and increased with the progression of steatosis. Cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal obesity, NASH, and arterial hypertension predominate in patients with NAFLD. Patients with NAFLD showed a significant increase in laboratory markers of cardiometabolic risk against the background of insufficient supply of 25(OH)D; these disorders worsen as steatosis progresses. The identified relationships indicate a high cardiovascular risk and a worse prognosis for the life of young men with NAFLD. In patients with NAFLD, the number of laboratory markers of cardiometabolic risk is 4 or more in one patient, while their peers without NAFLD have no more than 2 components. Conclusion. Expanding our understanding of the role of vitamin D in pathological mechanisms in young people with NAFLD will make it possible to control the progression of insulin resistance through timely screening and vitamin D supplementation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
