Core Tip	Facing the increasing burden of metabolic syndrome and chronic hepatitis B worldwide, this review tries to highlight the association of metabolic factors with chronic hepatitis B. Intriguingly, hepatitis B virus carriers are reported to have higher serum adiponectin levels, previously linked with individuals with low body mass index. Obesity and hypertriglyceridemia (metabolically bad factors) are inversely associated with high hepatitis B viral load; a crucial predictor for primary liver cancer. In contrast, serum adiponectin levels (a metabolically good factor) are positively related to high hepatitis B viral load in individuals with high body mass index.
