Using a meta-analytic approach, J. Park et al. (Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, San Jose, CA, USA) aimed to describe NAFLD incidence and prevalence, NAFLD fibrosis prevalence, and incidence of non-liver comorbidities.
In this study, the overall prevalence of NAFLD was 31.46% with an incidence rate of 42.8 per 1,000 person-years, and NASH prevalence was 52%. The prevalence and incidence of non-liver comorbidities was high especially for cardiovascular disease incidence.
