摘要
非酒精性脂肪肝由于发病隐匿,患者常无症状易被忽视,但越来越多的证据表明其并非单纯的良性病变,最终可进展为肝纤维化甚至肝癌,该病具有较高的死亡率,其死亡的主要原因是肝病和心血管疾病.对非酒精性脂肪肝的早期识别有助于延缓甚至逆转病情进展,防治并发症、减少心血管相关的并发症.但是,当前非酒精性脂肪肝认知度的研究表明,无论是公众还是医务人员对该病的认知度均较低.明确非酒精性肝病认知度现状及相关影响因素,有利于指导加强此病的学习宣教,而实施更优化的疾病预防和管理.
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.
