Objective:To investigate the prevalence and to analyze the population distribution of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)in 30 826 medical participants in Chongqing based on the ZJU index. Methods:Anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters were collected
and ZJU index was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed according to age

the prevalence of NAFLD was 34.83%
while the prevalence in male sex was significantly higher than that of female sex(40.53% vs. 29.26%
χ2=431.440
P=0.000). In male sex
the prevalence of NAFLD ranged from 21.67% to 49.90%. Whilst
it ranged from 8.86% to 58.70% in the female cohort. Overall
the prevalence presented a trend of rise first then fall in male as well as increased with age in female(Ptrend=0.000). Conclusion:The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 34.83%;the prevalence was 40.53% and 29.26% for male and female
