Dear editor: We read with great interest the article by Fukuda, et al.¹ who found in a population-based retrospective cohort study among 4,629 participants that non-overweight individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)had a high risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). In developed countries NAFLD is the leading cause of chronic liver disease (CLD), as data showed that between 1988 to 1994 NAFLD accounted for 46.8% of all CLD, and between 2005 to 2008 it accounted for 75.1%.² Fukuda, et al.¹ showed that the adjusted hazard ratio forincident T2DM in the non-overweight with NAFLD group was significantly higher than that in the over weight without NAFLD group (P < 0.05) as well as that in the non-overweight without NAFLD group (P < 0.01).Recently, Koehler, et al.³
