BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To explore the bidirectional relationship between NAFLD and type 2 diabetes and the possible directions of the main effect. METHODS AND RESULTS: 30 633 participants from the Jinchang cohort were enrolled. Firstly, cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the unidirectional causality between NAFLD and prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Secondly, cross-lag path analysis model was conducted to estimate the bidirectional relationship between NAFLD and prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and to determine the direction of the main effects. Finally, potential effect modifications were also considered by age, sex, hyperlipidemia, and overweight/obesity. We found that NAFLD increased the risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes with adjusted HR (95%CI) of 1.355(95%CI: 1.255-1.462) and 1.898(95%CI: 1.415-2.545), respectively. Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes also increased the risk of NAFLD, with adjusted HR (95%CI) of 1.245(95%CI: 1.115-1.392) and 1.592(95%CI: 1.373-1.846), respectively. Cross-lag path analysis showed that NAFLD significantly affected the incidence of prediabetes (ß = 0.285, P < 0.001), while the effect on type 2 diabetes was not statistically significant. The effect of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes on the risk of NAFLD was weak, and the path coefficients were 0.076 and 0.037, respectively. Stratified analyses showed similar results. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence that there was a bidirectional causal association between NAFLD and type 2 diabetes, and the progression from NAFLD through prediabetes to type 2 diabetes may be the main pathway.
