Key result
Type 2 diabetes in obese men was associated with significantly higher liver fat content (11.9%) compared to nondiabetic obese (5.2%, P<0.05) and normal-weight controls (1.6%, P<0.001).
Population
32 men aged 28-65 years with normal plasma triglyceride levels, comprising 13 diabetic obese in good…

Association between T2D and liver fat in obese men remains hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before any clinical implications.
Cross-Sectional (n=32)
Absolute Event Rate: 11.9% vs 5.2%
p-value: p=<0.05
Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased liver fat accumulation independent of obesity and whole-body insulin resistance, potentially due to inadequate subcutaneous fat storing capacity.
Bozzetto et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=32). Type 2 diabetes mellitus vs. Nondiabetic obesity and normal weight was evaluated on Liver fat content (p=<0.05). Type 2 diabetes in obese men was associated with significantly higher liver fat content (11.9%) compared to nondiabetic obese (5.2%, P<0.05) and normal-weight controls (1.6%, P<0.001).
