Screening for NAFLD in Flanders

In the Belgian adult population more than half, and numbers are still increasing, of the population is overweight or obese. These people are at risk to develop NAFLD. However, we lack epidemiological data in Belgium. Therefore, it is important to do epidemiological studies to investigate NAFLD prevalence and disease severity based on a non-invasive approach and evaluate how patients are to be referred.
