Chang Y, et al. - By obtaining data from the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study on 218,030 men and women in Korea who had a health examination from 2011 through 2016, researchers assessed if non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcohol-associated fatty liver disease (AFLD) were related to risk of incident hospitalization due to liver and cardiovascular disease. Data reported that NAFLD had a 22.0% prevalence, and AFLD had a 6.4% prevalence. A higher risk of liver disease-related hospitalizations was found for patients with NAFLD or AFLD, particularly among those with fibrosis-4 index scores. In patients with NAFLD, an increased risk of cardiovascular disease-associated hospitalization was noted, but not among those with AFLD.
