| Core Tip |
The epidemiological knowledge of variations of etiology of chronic liver diseases (CLD) is crucial for health policy of resource allocation and for planning strategies of prevention and treatment. Our study, carried out in a large population from 1998 to 2014 period, shows that, in Northwest Italy, viral CLD decreased and CLD due to metabolic disorders remarkably increased. These results suggest the need to perform a strategy of rigorous education and counseling, in particular in overweight and obese subjects. |
