Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) poses a challenge to health services both in developed and developing countries, with a significant increase in incidence and prevalence that is related to the currently increased prevalence of obesity. Besides an acknowledged higher risk for advanced liver disease (cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma), morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease both increase in people with NAFLD. As a matter of fact, NAFLD is a cardiovascular risk factor.
