Abstract

Background: The effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the population is still controversial. Diabetes and NAFLD are both metabolically related diseases, and no studies have classified the population to study the effect of H. pylori infection on NAFLD in diabetics. Methods: A population of people who were examined in the Taizhou Hospital Health Examination Center from 2017 to 2022 was included, and hematological indicators, body parameters, ultrasound data, and H. pylori detection by urea nitrogen test were collected from patients. All physical examination populations were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic populations. Results: After multivariate logistic regression, H. pylori infection remained an independent risk factor for NAFLD in diabetics, but it had no significant effect on NAFLD in non-diabetic population. Additionally, there was a nonlinear relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin and H. pylori infection in diabetic population. Moreover, the incidence of NAFLD in diabetics increased with persistent H. pylori infection. Conclusion: In the diabetic population, H. pylori infection does increase the risk of developing NAFLD. Glycemic control and eradication of H. pylori infection may have positive implications for reducing the incidence of NAFLD in diabetic population.
