Core Tip	This study represents the first published investigation of fatty liver prevalence detected by routine physical examinations of individuals residing in the Huangpu District of Guangzhou, China. A high prevalence of fatty liver (26.0%) was detected among the total physical examinees and was characterized by an age-related increasing trend, with the highest prevalence (39.5%) found among individuals between 60 and 70-year-old. The individuals diagnosed with fatty liver also showed significantly higher prevalences of hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hyperuricemia than their non-fatty liver counterparts (all P < 0.01), suggesting a close association between fatty liver and dysmetabolic factors.
