description [eng] Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a very frequent and multifactorial pathology that can lead to liver fibrosis (LF). The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of sociodemographic variables such as age, sex, social class and tobacco consumption on the increased risk of NASFLD and HF. Material and methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study in 219.477 Spanish workers in which the influence of age, sex, social class and tobacco consumption on the increased risk of presenting NASH and FH determined with 7 different scales was assessed. We also assessed the concordance and correlation between the different scales using Pearson’s and Cohen’s kappa indices, respectively. Results: All the EHGNA and FH risk scales have increased values as age increases and as one moves down the social scale. These values are also higher in men. Smoking does not seem to show any effect on the risk of NASH and FH. The degree of correlation of the different scales is high. Conclusions: Age, sex and social class all have an influence on the increased risk of NASH and FH, while smoking has no effect.

[spa] Introducción: La enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA) es una patología muy frecuente y multifactorial que puede terminar en fibrosis hepática (FH). El presente estudio tiene como objetivo valorar la influencia de variables sociodemográficas como edad, sexo y clase social y el consumo de tabaco en el incremento del riesgo de presentar EHGNA y FH. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y transversal en 219.477 trabajadores españoles en los que se valora la influencia de la edad, el sexo, la clase social y el consumo de tabaco en el incremento del riesgo de presentar EHGNA y FH determinadas con 7 escalas diferentes. También se valora la concordancia y correlación entre las diferentes escalas empleando los índices de Pearson y kappa Cohen respectivamente. Resultados: Todas las escalas de riesgo de EHGNA y FH ven incrementados sus valores a medida que aumenta la edad y a medida que se desciende en la escala social. Estos valores también son más elevados en los hombres. El tabaco no parece mostrar ningún efecto en el riesgo de EHGNA y la FH. El grado de correlación de las diferentes escalas es alto. Conclusiones: Tanto la edad como el sexo y la clase social influyen en el incremento del riesgo de presentar EHGNA y FH mientras el consumo de tabaco no afecta.
