Résumé
Early life exposure to famine and adulthood obesity increased the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adulthood. However, the joint effects on adulthood NAFLD risk are not clear. This study aimed to explore the joint effects of famine exposure and adulthood obesity on NAFLD risk in later life. We included 7632 subjects aged ≥40 years from a community-dwelling population. Participants were divided into 4 famine exposure groups according to the birth year, including nonexposed (1963-1974), fetal-exposed (1959-1962), childhood-exposed (1949-1958) and adolescent-exposed (1941-1948). General obesity was assessed by body mass index (BMI: overweight ≥24.0 kg/m Compared with nonexposed, fetal- and childhood-exposed participants show an increased risk of NAFLD with multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.28 (1.02-1.61) and 1.40 (1.04-1.88) respectively. After further adjusting BMI and WHR, the increased risk was observed only in childhood-exposed participants (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.04-2.05). Significant interaction between famine exposure and general obesity on the risk of NAFLD was observed in women (P for interaction = .02). No significant interactions were detected between famine exposure and abdominal obesity (all P for interaction >.05). Compared with normal-BMI and -WHR participants, those with both general and abdominal obesity in adulthood had 20.74 (95% CI: 12.00-35.96), 14.45 (8.76-23.86), 23.02 (16.28-32.57) and 13.04 (8.30-20.48)-fold higher risk in nonexposed, fetal-, childhood- and adolescent-exposed groups respectively. Coexistence of early life famine exposure and adulthood obesity was associated with a higher risk of NAFLD.

BACKGROUND
Early life exposure to famine and adulthood obesity increased the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adulthood. However, the joint effects on adulthood NAFLD risk are not clear.
AIM
This study aimed to explore the joint effects of famine exposure and adulthood obesity on NAFLD risk in later life.
METHODS
We included 7632 subjects aged ≥40 years from a community-dwelling population. Participants were divided into 4 famine exposure groups according to the birth year, including nonexposed (1963-1974), fetal-exposed (1959-1962), childhood-exposed (1949-1958) and adolescent-exposed (1941-1948). General obesity was assessed by body mass index (BMI: overweight ≥24.0 kg/m
RESULTS
Compared with nonexposed, fetal- and childhood-exposed participants show an increased risk of NAFLD with multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.28 (1.02-1.61) and 1.40 (1.04-1.88) respectively. After further adjusting BMI and WHR, the increased risk was observed only in childhood-exposed participants (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.04-2.05). Significant interaction between famine exposure and general obesity on the risk of NAFLD was observed in women (P for interaction = .02). No significant interactions were detected between famine exposure and abdominal obesity (all P for interaction >.05). Compared with normal-BMI and -WHR participants, those with both general and abdominal obesity in adulthood had 20.74 (95% CI: 12.00-35.96), 14.45 (8.76-23.86), 23.02 (16.28-32.57) and 13.04 (8.30-20.48)-fold higher risk in nonexposed, fetal-, childhood- and adolescent-exposed groups respectively.
CONCLUSION
Coexistence of early life famine exposure and adulthood obesity was associated with a higher risk of NAFLD.
