Although sarcopenia is known to be a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whether NAFLD is a risk factor for the development of sarcopenia is not clear. We investigated relationships between NAFLD and low skeletal muscle mass index (LSMI) using three different datasets. Participants were classified into LSMI and normal groups. LSMI was defined as a body mass index (BMI)-adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle mass <0.789 in men and <0.512 in women or as the sex-specific lowest quintile of BMI-adjusted total skeletal muscle mass. NAFLD was determined according to NAFLD liver fat score or abdominal ultrasonography. The NAFLD groups showed a higher hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for LSMI than the normal groups (HRs = 1.21, 95% CIs = 1.05–1.40). The LSMI groups also showed a higher HRs with 95% CIs for NAFLD than normal groups (HRs = 1.56, 95% CIs = 1.38–1.78). Participants with NAFLD had consistently less skeletal muscle mass over 12 years of follow-up. In conclusion, LSMI and NAFLD showed a relationship. Maintaining muscle mass should be emphasized in the management of NAFLD.

Recently, sarcopenia was identified as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults. We here investigated the association between skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and NAFLD in non-obese children and adolescents. A retrospective medical chart review was performed for individuals aged 9–15 years diagnosed with NAFLD. Healthy volunteers aged 9–15 years were recruited as controls. Participants were subject to laboratory tests, abdominal sonography, and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. SMM data were calculated as the skeletal muscle-to-body fat ratio (MFR), and the diagnosis of fatty liver was established by abdominal sonography. The control and NAFLD groups included 73 and 53 individuals, respectively. No significant difference was observed in gender and body mass index (BMI) distribution between the groups. Mean MFR was significantly lower in individuals with NAFLD than in those without (0.83 vs. 1.04, p = 0.005). After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and serum glucose, the risk of having NAFLD was significantly associated with a decreased MFR (p = 0.016). NAFLD is significantly associated with relatively low SMM in non-obese children and adolescents. Increasing SMM, such as weight training, can be suggested as one of the treatment strategies in pediatric NAFLD without obesity.

Traditionally, sarcopenia has defined as amount of absolute muscle mass adjusted by height in the elderly people. However, relative muscle mass adjusted by weight has been used extensively in most non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) studies. Here, we attempted to investigate the pitfall of adjusted muscle mass by weight to evaluate association between sarcopenia and NAFLD. Adult subjects (n = 1343) who underwent a health check-up were finally included for analysis. The weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index (wSMI) and height-adjusted SMI (hSMI) calculated by dividing the total appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM) by weight or the square of height, respectively. Prevalence of sarcopenia defined by wSMI in the NAFLD group was significantly higher than in the control group (1.3% vs. 8.8%, p < 0.001). However, there was no difference in the prevalence of sarcopenia defined by hSMI between the control and NAFLD groups (2.0% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.055). Since body weight was the most potent independent risk factor for NAFLD in multivariable logistic regression analysis, abnormal rates (<−1 SD) of almost all parameters increased in the NAFLD population, after weight adjustment. However, abnormal rates of non-metabolic parameter did not increase in NAFLD, after height adjustment. Only metabolic parameters showed relationship with NAFLD, after height adjustment. As NAFLD is highly associated with body weight, careful attention should be given in the case of studying the relationship of NAFLD with sarcopenia adjusted by body weight.
