Abstract
In a large, multi-ethnic population with NAFLD, IL-6 is independently associated with the prevalence and severity of subclinical atherosclerosis. Further research into the longitudinal effects of NAFLD on progressive CVD will determine whether IL-6 is a marker or mediator of NAFLD-related atherosclerosis.
