Table 2.

Comparison of hepatic health parameters and oral clinical parameters in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and healthy volunteers

Clinical measurements Controls Mean rank Case NAFLD Mean rank P (paired t-test)
Bilirubin 32.98 (n=42) 49.64 (n=39) 0.001
AST 25.95 (n=42) 57.21 (n=39) 0.000
ALT 25.81 (n=42) 57.36 (n=39) 0.000
DIS 50.65 (n=42) 31.89 (n=40) 0.000
CIS 50.61 (n=42) 31.94 (n=40) 0.000
Missing teeth 35.07 (n=42) 48.25 (n=40) 0.004
Malocclusion 41.57 (n=42) 41.43 (n=40) 0.974
BOP 31.00 (n=42) 52.53 (n=40) 0.000
Mean PD 46.14 (n=42) 36.63 (n=40) 0.052
Mean CAL 31.45 (n=42) 52.05 (n=40) 0.000
OHIS 51.07 (n=42) 30.68 (n=40) 0.000

The P value is considered significant, for P<0.05. NAFLD – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; AST – Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT – Alanine aminotransferase; DIS – Debris index simplified; CIS – Calculus index simplified; BOP – Bleeding on probing; PD – Pocket depth; CAL – Clinical attachment loss; OHIS – Oral hygiene index simplified; PP-value or probability value
