Eun Hye Lee 1, Ji Young Kim 2, Hye Ran Yang 3 4

Abstract

Background/objectives: Sex-specific differences in obesity-related metabolic characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have rarely been explored, particularly in children with biopsy-verified NAFLD. The influence of sex hormones on ectopic fat disposition may cause inter-sex differences in various metabolic factors. This study aimed to assess the sex-based differences in ectopic fat and metabolic characteristics in children with NAFLD.
