Then, the remaining 101 risk factors were presented to the expert panel, of which 39 risk factors related to NAFLD were selected.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In summary, this study shows that NAFLD is caused by various factors such as metabolic syndrome, certain diseases, demographic information, specific surgeries, drug consumption, different foods and beverages, occupation, physical activity status, and socioeconomic status. Recognizing these risk factors enables doctors to make earlier diagnoses, potentially preventing disease progression. Additionally, it is possible to develop treatment strategies aimed at reducing the risk factors of the disease, which could result in fewer patients suffering from NAFLD in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":18517,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Digestive Diseases","volume":"17 1","pages":"54-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12048834/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143969432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
