肝硬化与高发病率和死亡率相关，并且经常影响生命中最具生产力的年龄段的人。在美国，酒精性肝病是肝硬化总体患病率的主要原因，其次是B型肝炎病毒（HBV）和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染。在这篇文章中，Karsan，Rojter和Saab博士研究了可能导致肝硬化的生活方式行为，并列举了旨在初级预防的公共卫生策略。
Cirrhosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality and often affects persons during the most productive years of life. In the United States, alcoholic liver disease is the leading contributor to the overall prevalence of cirrhosis, followed by infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). In this article, Drs Karsan, Rojter, and Saab examine lifestyle behaviors that can lead to cirrhosis and enumerate public health strategies aimed at primary prevention.
