Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease incidence and impact on metabolic burden and death: A 20 year‐community study

Abstract

Incidence of NAFLD diagnosis in the community has increased 5-fold, particularly in young adults. NAFLD is a consequence, but also a precursor of MC. Incident MC attenuates the impact of NAFLD on death and annuls its impact on CV disease. (Hepatology 2018;67:1726-1736).
