Abstract：Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has been regarded as the predominant chronic liver disease worldwide and its prevalence varies from different ethics, countries and districts. The risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease include obesity, metabolic syndrome, lifestyle, genetic factor and sarcopenia. At present, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Asia is similar to that of western countries, but the epidemiological characteristics are still different from those in western countries. The non-obese non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is highly prevalent in Asia than in the western countries, and the incidence is related to genetic factors. Chronic hepatitis B concomitant of fatty liver is also an epidemiological feature of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Asia.
