Abstract:

In April 9 issue, van den Berg EH et al.1 report interesting results on the indication for lipid-lowering treatment in a large cohort with suspected NAFLD within the population-based Lifelines Cohort Study.

CVD risk was established by the 2016 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidemias2 .
