Background & Aims: Data on the incidence and remission rates of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as well as predictive factors are scant. This study aims at evaluating NAFLD's epidemiology in prospective follow-up of individuals sampled from the general population.Methods: Evaluation of metabolic parameters and ultrasono-graphic evidence of NAFLD was performed in 213 subjects, with no known liver disease or history of alcohol abuse. The evaluation was performed at baseline and after a 7-year period by identical protocols.Results: Of the 147 patients who did not have NAFLD at baseline, 28 (19%) were found to have NAFLD at a 7-year follow-up. Baseline BMI, HOMA score, blood cholesterol, triglycerides, leptin levels, and weight gain (5.8 +/- 6.1 vs. 1.4 +/- 5.5 kg, p
