The clinical and public health significance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not well established. We investigate the long-term impact of NAFLD on mortality. This analysis utilizes the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 1988–1994 and subsequent follow-up data for mortality through December 31, 2006. NAFLD was defined by ultrasonographic detection of hepatic steatosis in the absence of other known liver diseases. The presence and severity of hepatic fibrosis in subjects with NAFLD was determined by the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), the AST-platelet ratio index (APRI), and the FIB-4 score. Out of 11,154 participants, 34.0% had NAFLD - the majority (71.7%) had NFS consistent with lack of significant fibrosis (NFS < −1.455), whereas 3.2% had a score indicative of advanced fibrosis (NFS > 0.676). After a median follow-up of 14.5 years, NAFLD was not associated with higher mortality (age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93–1.19). In contrast, there was a progressive increase in mortality with advancing fibrosis scores. Compared to subjects without fibrosis, those with a high probability of advanced fibrosis had a 69% increase in mortality (HR 1.69 (95% CI 1.09–2.63) for NFS, 1.85 (1.02–3.37) for APRI, 1.66 (0.98–2.82) for FIB-4) after adjustment for other known predictors of mortality. These increases in mortality were almost entirely from cardiovascular causes (HR 3.46 (95% CI 1.91–6.25) for NFS, 2.53 (1.33–4.83) for APRI, 2.68 (1.44–4.99) for FIB-4). Ultrasonography-diagnosed NAFLD is not associated with increased mortality. However, advanced fibrosis as determined by non-invasive fibrosis marker panels is a significant predictor of mortality, mainly from cardiovascular causes, independent of other known factors.
