    Prevalence of Fatty Pancreas and its relation with anthropometric values on the Growth and Obesity Cohort Study
    (Elsevier Editora Ltda, 2024) Alberti Reus, Gigliola Loredana; Cantillo Rocha, Thelma De Jesús; Pereira, Ana; De Barbieri Magnone, Florencia Beatriz; Garcia Bruce, Cristian Jorge; Dinamarca Villarroel, Luis Antonio; Gana Ansaldo, Juan Cristobal
    Objective: Nonalcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease (NAFPD) is characterized by excessive lipid accumulation within the pancreas in the absence of alcohol intake, potentially leading to pancreatic dysfunction and metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic carcinoma. The authors aim to estimate the prevalence of NAFPD and its association with anthropometric parameters in a cohort of Chilean adolescents. Method: The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the "Growth and Obesity Chilean Cohort Study" (GOCS), a longitudinal study involving nearly 1000 children, followed yearly since 2006. All participants underwent anthropometric measurements and abdominal ultrasonography. Results: A total of 741 adolescents were included; 30 exhibited ultrasonography findings compatible with fatty pancreas (4 %). Adolescents with NAFPD had higher BMI z-score (2.33 (1.52–2.69) vs 0.67 (-0.2–1.4), p < 0.001), waist circumference (WC) (90.9 (81.53–98.58) vs 72.2 (67.55–79.83), p < 0.001), waist-to-height ratio (0.55 (0.48–0.6) vs 0.44 (0.41–0.49), p < 0.001), triponderal index (17.35 (15.14–19.25) vs 13.62 (12.07–15.54), p < 0.001), subcutaneous fat (32.4 (21.77–44.95) vs 16.2 (9.3 - 25.3), p < 0.001), visceral fat (45.15 (36.92–62.08) vs 35.5 (28.55–44.25), p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.009), and diastolic blood pressure but only in boys (p = 0.004) compared with controls. The prevalence of liver steatosis was significantly higher in the NAFPD group (63.3% vs 5.2 %, p < 0.001). After adjusting for sex and BMI, only the association with waist circumference and liver steatosis remains statistically significant. Conclusion: In adolescents, NAFPD has a prevalence of 4 % and is associated with a higher BMI z-score, WC, superficial fat, and blood pressure levels. Liver steatosis exhibited a strong association with NAFPD.

    Relation between body composition trajectories from childhood to adolescence and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease risk
    (2024) Alberti, Gigliola; Faune Palacios, Mariana Carmen; Santos Martín, José Luis; De Barbieri Magnone, Florencia Beatriz; García B., Cristián; Pereira, Ana; Becerra, Fernando; Gana Ansaldo, Juan Cristóbal
    NAFLD has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease in children, as a direct consequence of the high prevalence of childhood obesity. This study aimed to characterize body composition trajectories from childhood to adolescence and their association with the risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) during adolescence. The participants were part of the ‘Chilean Growth and Obesity Cohort Study’, comprising 784 children who were followed prospectively from age 3 years. Annual assessments of nutritional status and body composition were conducted, with ultrasound screening for NAFLD during adolescence revealing a 9.8% prevalence. Higher waist circumference measures were associated with NAFLD from age 3 years (p = 0.03), all skin folds from age 4 years (p < 0.01), and DXA body fat measurements from age 12 years (p = 0.01). The fat-free mass index was higher in females (p = 0.006) but not in males (p = 0.211). The second and third tertiles of the fat mass index (FMI) had odds ratios for NAFLD during adolescence of 2.19 (1.48–3.25, 95% CI) and 6.94 (4.79–10.04, 95% CI), respectively. Elevated waist circumference, skin folds, and total body fat were identified as risk factors for future NAFLD development. A higher FMI during childhood was associated with an increased risk of NAFLD during adolescence.
