Abstract | AIMS: METHODS: We used data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2014 to 2017. New drug users were screened, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) were set as the active comparator, and the differences between the two groups were corrected through propensity score matching. NAFLD was evaluated by the fatty liver index (FLI), which was calculated using body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, and gamma glutamyl peptidase. RESULTS: After 1:1 matching, 25,371 patients in each group who received medication for an average of 299 days were analyzed. Despite similar baseline FLI of each group, the FLI of the SGLT2i users was 44.4 ± 26.7 and the FLI of the DPP4i users was 48.9 ± 27.3 (P value < 0.001) after treatment. SGLT2i showed more significant decrements than DPP4i in all components of FLI. The more the adherence to the SGLT2i increased, the greater the decrease in FLI. CONCLUSIONS: SGLT2i showed a significant reduction in FLI and its components. We suggest that SGLT2i may have beneficial effects in reducing the prevalence of NAFLD in type 2 diabetes.
