| Core Tip |
This retrospective study explored the incidence and characteristics of colorectal polyps in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) from high-altitude (Qinghai) and low-altitude (Tianjin) regions in China. Patient data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. It was found that NAFLD patients from high-altitude regions had a higher incidence of colorectal polyps, of which the proportion of adenomatous polyps was significantly higher. Sex, smoking, hypertension, and white blood cell counts were observed to be risk factors for the development of adenomatous polyps. Proactive colonoscopy screening is recommended for NAFLD patients with these risk factors living at high altitudes to mitigate the risk of colorectal cancer. |
