Skrypnyk [et al.] // Journal of Hepatology. – 2022. – Vol. 76. – Р. 771–780.https://repository.pdmu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/21447Background & Aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent, yet largely underappreciated liver condition which is closely associated with obesity and metabolic disease. Despite affecting an estimated 1 in 4 adults globally, NAFLD is largely absent on national and global health agendas. Methods: We collected data from 102 countries, accounting for 86% of the world population, on NAFLD policies, guidelines, civil society engagement, clinical management, and epidemiologic data. A preparedness index was developed by coding questions into 6 domains (policies, guidelines, civil awareness, epidemiology and data, NAFLD detection, and NAFLD care management) and categorising the responses as high, medium, and low; a multiple correspondence analysis was then applied.ennon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)liver healthglobal public healthpolicy preparednesshealth policymultiple correspondence analysisArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2021.10.025
