Fig 2
Trends in Age-Standardized NAFLD Rates by SDI Quintiles and GBD Regions (1990–2021) A: Incidence rates showing a bell-shaped SDI correlation, peaking in medium-SDI regions (e.g., North Africa/Middle East).
B: Prevalence rates mirroring incidence trends, with highest burdens in medium-SDI regions. C: Mortality rates exhibiting nonlinear SDI associations, highest in Andean and Central Latin America. D: DALY rates highlighting severe burdens in Andean Latin America and Central Latin America. Abbreviations: SDI, Socio-demographic Index; GBD, Global Burden of Disease; ASIR, Age-Standardized Incidence Rate; ASPR, Age-Standardized Prevalence Rate; ASMR, Age-Standardized Mortality Rate; ASDR, Age-Standardized DALY Rate.
