X. Zhang et al. (Fudan University, Shanghai, China) collected, from the Global Burden of Disease database, annual cases, and prevalence of NAFLD/NASH from 1990 to 2017, by sex, region and country.
This study shows that both the prevalence and number of cases of NAFLD/NASH have increased irrespective of sex, age, and region. This phenomenon can result in a predictable increase in chronic liver disease burden in the near future.
