To elucidate the prevalence of fatty liver in the general population, ultrasound mass survey was carried out in the Ichinohazamacho, a rural community of Miyagi-prefecture, on applicants over 40 years of age. Total number of the subjects were 814 which was 14.5% of the population over 40 years of age in this community. The incidence of fatty liver was 7.1%, although there was some bias because of applicant-subjects. About 80% of fatty liver was suspected to be based on obsesity, while only 3.4% was thought to be result from habitual alcoholism. About 20% of fatty liver had elevated GPT level (>35IU/L) and most of them were below 50IU/L. We consider that the prognosis of this kind of mild fatty livers detected in the ultrasound mass survey is generally good. There have been, however, known a specific type of fatty liver associated with obesity which could progress to the cirrhotic state. Then we will make a follow-up study of detected fatty livers in ultrasound mass survey.
