作者总结并更新了非酒精性脂肪性肝病 (NAFLD) 和非酒精性脂肪性肝炎 (NASH) 的患病率、自然史和发病率领域的最新知识。这些新疾病在第二个千年之初首次被认识，突然引起了临床医生的注意，因为它们是“所谓的”代谢综合征的肝脏表现。由于肥胖、糖尿病和代谢性疾病的流行负担，NAFLD 和 NASH 很快可能成为全球最常见的肝脏疾病，它们肯定会让我们未来的年轻肝病学家忙碌起来。
The authors summarize and update the most recent knowledge in the field of prevalence, natural history and incidence of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). These novel diseases, firstly recognized at the beginning of the second millennium, arose suddenly to the attention of the clinicians, because they are the hepatic expression of the "so-called" metabolic syndrome. Due to the epidemic burden of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic diseases, NAFLD and NASH will become soon probably the most common hepatic disease worldwide, and they surely will keep busy our future young hepatologists.
