“…NAFLD prevalence is higher in those with metabolic diseases than in the general population. [11][12][13] NAFLD is detected in 75%-80% of obese patients, 56%-70% of patients with T2DM, approximately 70% of patients with MetS, and 70% of those with dyslipidemia. [2,3,10] Furthermore, metabolic disorders are more common in those with NAFLD and NASH (Table 4).…”

“…[2,3,10] Furthermore, metabolic disorders are more common in those with NAFLD and NASH (Table 4). [1,11,13] Few studies have been conducted to determine the incidence of NAFLD, which differs in the method used for diagnosis. While NAFLD incidence is 20-86 per 1,000 person-years in patients with a US finding and/or high liver enzyme levels, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging, the incidence is calculated as 34 per 1,000 person-years.…”

“…[1,12] According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Türkiye has the highest obesity rate in Europe, at 32%. [13] According to Turkish Diabetes Epidemiology (TURDEP) data from 1998 (TURDEP I) and 2010 (TURDEP II)-studies that were carried out in 540 centers to determine the prevalence and risk factors of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in the adult population in Türkiye-within 12 years, Diabetes Mellitus (DM) frequency increased from 7.2% to 16.5%. Obesity prevalence increased from 22% to 36%.…”

“…Obesity prevalence increased from 22% to 36%. [13,14] In line with the increasing trend in obesity and DM prevalence, the prevalence of NAFLD is estimated to be more than 30% in Türkiye. In the screening studies conducted in Türkiye, the frequency of NAFLD was between 48% and 60%, placing Türkiye among the countries with the highest prevalence of NAFLD globally.…”

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystem disease and is significantly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. NAFLD has become the most prevalent chronic liver disease in Western countries, and the proportion of NAFLD-related cirrhosis among patients on liver transplantation waiting lists has increased. In light of the accumulated data about NAFLD, and to provide a common approach with multi-disciplines dealing with the subject, it has become necessary to create new guidance for diagnosing and treating NAFLD. This guidance was prepared following an interdisciplinary study under the leadership of the Turkish Association for the Study of the Liver (TASL), Fatty Liver Special Interest Group. This new TASL Guidance is a practical application guide on NAFLD and was prepared to standardize the clinical approach to diagnosing and treating NAFLD patients. This guidance reflects many advances in the field of NAFLD. The proposals in this guidance are meant to aid decision-making in clinical practice. The guidance is primarily intended for gastroenterology, endocrinology, metabolism diseases, cardiology, internal medicine, pediatric specialists, and family medicine specialists.

“…In Turkey, an agricultural country, cereal consumption was 150-200 kg/year per person that later declined after 2000 due to urbanization and industrialization; however, the consumption of fatty and sweet foods has increased. In parallel, the prevalence of obesity has resulted in a marked increase [7,8]. Sedentary lifestyle (lack of regular physical activity) and tendency toward ready-to-eat foods have led to increases in obesity, this is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases [9,10].…”
