Özet

Background: The true prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unknown in Turkey due to a lack of population-based studies. The aim of this study was (i) to determine the overall and region-specific prevalence of NAFLD in Turkey; (ii) to analyze the factors associated with the prevalence; and (iii) to determine the nationwide change in the prevalence of NAFLD in the last decade.
