Histologic Scores for Fat and Fibrosis Associate With Development of Type 2 Diabetes in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a strong risk factor for development of type 2 diabetes, but little is known about how long-term NAFLD or its histologic features affect risk. We aimed to investigate the cumulative incidence of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD, and to identify histologic factors that affect risk of diabetes.
