Watt GP, et al. - In a population-based study of Mexican American Hispanics in south Texas, the researchers determined the prevalence of significant fibrosis, measured by point shear-wave elastography (pSWE), as well as determined characteristics of hepatic fibrosis and simple steatosis. From 2015 through 2017, liver stiffness was measured by pSWE, performed by 2 separate operators, for 406 members in the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort. Using pSWE measurements, the prevalence of fibrosis in a large population of Mexican American Hispanics was estimated. Compared to European and Asian populations, Mexican American Hispanics were found to have a higher prevalence of fibrosis, primarily attributable to the metabolic disease.
