The burden of viral and nonviral liver disease remains high even in the setting of hepatitis C microelimination.

People with advanced fibrosis—not just cirrhosis—were at greater risk for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Even though as many as 97% of patients can be cured with medication, many still don’t receive the treatment.

Diabetes and a large waist circumference are predictors of liver fat accumulation and fibrosis.

However, people with liver cirrhosis remain at risk and should continue screening even after being cured.

Intensive lifestyle management led to weight loss and reduced steatosis and fibrosis.

Advanced stages of NAFLD were more commonly seen in people whose mothers had obesity or overweight during pregnancy.

People with fatty liver disease and advanced fibrosis also had a greater incidence of diabetes.

The MAFLD criteria for diagnosis was linked to higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

People under 50 who were cured of hepatitis C were at comparable risk to the general population.

Study finds that lean people with NAFLD had a higher risk for liver events, cancer and mortality.

People doing more than 300 minutes of physical activity per week nearly halved their risk for NAFLD.
