Abstract
Objective
Given significant advances in treatment of viral hepatitis and the growing epidemic of obesity, the burden of the different types of liver diseases in the USA may be changing. Our aim was to assess the shift in the prevalence of different liver disease aetiologies in the USA over the past three decades.
Design
National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES; cross-sectional 1988-1994 and 1999-2016) were used.
