| Core Tip |
Few studies have evaluated the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and glycemic control in Africa. This study was the first to be conducted in Cameroon and the Central African Region. NAFLD was evaluated using the fatty liver index algorithm recommended for resource limited settings. One of five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Limbe, Cameroon suffer from NAFLD, which is significantly associated with glycemic control. Findings from this study support clinical practice guidelines recommending screening individuals with diabetes for NAFLD and contribute to the scarce data on the topic in Africa. Future longitudinal studies are needed. |
