Abstract

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is swiftly evolving into a prevailing liver condition on a global scale and within the United States, it stands as the primary contributor to chronic liver disease. Previously viewed as a Western disorder, obesity and NAFLD are gaining increased recognition within the Asian community. Notably, NAFLD has been observed to have strong associations with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), Chronic Vascular Disease (CVD), and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
