Core Tip	Today non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main concerns of the medical world. NAFLD is identified as a main risk factor for chronic liver disease across the world. NAFLD is clearly linked with obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MS). The prevalence of NAFLD is lower in Asian countries than Western countries but, it has increased dramatically in recent years because of increasing rate of obesity, type 2 diabetes and MS in this region. The high prevalence of obesity with diabetes, and MS would increase the risk of NAFLD in recent years. So, prevention of these factors is the key strategy to reduce the incidence of NAFLD.
