关键词: Awareness Health care provider Major factors Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease Public

摘要:
Because of the indolent asymptomatic nature of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), it is often neglected. However, more and more evidence has suggested that NAFLD is not a benign disease and it can progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with NAFLD have higher mortality, mainly due to liver and cardiovascular diseases, compared with the overall population. Earlier recognition of NAFLD can slow its progression, prevent complications and reduce cardiovascular-related outcomes. However, current estimates of NAFLD awareness indicate that the level of awareness of NAFLD among both the general public and health care providers remains unacceptably low. Understanding the awareness of NAFLD and identifying the related factors could help guide the implementation of awareness efforts and result in more optimized disease prevention and management. © 2015 Baishideng Publishing Group Inc.
