Hsiao CC, Teng PH, Wu YJ, et al. - Researchers investigated the link between the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, in this retrospective study. Participants were 817 individuals who met criteria for NAFLD. NAFLD severity was defined as normal, mild, moderate and severe degree on the basis of the finding of abdominal ultrasonography. In this study, a high risk of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in relation to severe degree, but not mild to moderate degree, was evident independently of Framingham risk score and body-fat percentage.
