The paradigm shift from NAFLD to MAFLD: a global primary care viewpoint
Farahat, Taghreed M.; Ungan, Mehmet; Vilaseca, Josep; Ponzo, Jacqueline; Gupta, Pramendra Prasad; Schreiner, Andrew D.; Al Sharief, WadeiaHalf of the global overweight/obese adult population have metabolic-dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), with prevalence rising, even among non-obese individuals. This increase is observed globally and mostly in low- and low-middleincome countries of Africa, Asia and South America and represents a great worldwide burden on healthcare expenditures. Lifestyle changes and a healthy diet are still th...
The global NAFLD policy review and preparedness index: are countries ready to a...
Lazarus, Jeffrey V.; Mark, Henry E.; Villota-Rivas, Marcela; Palayew, Adam; Carrieri, Patrizia; Colombo, Massimo; Ekstedt, Mattias; Esmat, GamalBackground & aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent, yet largely underappreciated liver condition which is closely associated with obesity and metabolic disease. Despite affecting an estimated 1 in 4 adults globally, NAFLD is largely absent on national and global health agendas. Methods: We collected data from 102 countries, accounting for 86% of the world population, on NAFLD pol...
Advancing the global public health agenda for NAFLD: a consensus statement
Lazarus, Jeffrey V.; Mark, Henry E.; Anstee, Quentin M.; Arab, Juan Pablo; Batterham, Rachel L.; Castera, Laurent; Cortez-Pinto, Helena; Crespo, JavierNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a potentially serious liver disease that affects approximately one-quarter of the global adult population, causing a substantial burden of ill health with wide-ranging social and economic implications. It is a multisystem disease and is considered the hepatic component of metabolic syndrome. Unlike other highly prevalent conditions, NAFLD has received little attentio...
European ‘NAFLD Preparedness Index’ — Is Europe ready to meet the challenge of ...
Lazarus, Jeffrey V.; Palayew, Adam; Carrieri, Patrizia; Ekstedt, Mattias; Marchesini, Giulio; Novak, Katja; Ratziu, Vlad; Romero-Gómez, ManuelBackground & aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is closely associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes, is a highly prevalent emerging condition that can be optimally managed through a multidisciplinary patient-centred approach. National preparedness to address NAFLD is essential to ensure that health systems can deliver effective care. We present a NAFLD Preparedness Index for...

Lazarus, Jeffrey V.; Ekstedt, Mattias; Marchesini, Giulio; Mullen, Jillian; Novak, Katja; Pericàs, Juan M.; Roel, Elena; Romero-Gómez, ManuelBackground & aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing public health problem worldwide and has become an important field of biomedical inquiry. We aimed to determine whether European countries have mounted an adequate public health response to NAFLD and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods: In 2018 and 2019, NAFLD experts in 29 European countries completed an English-language survey ...
