Abstract
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data provide information on population health; however, careful understanding of the estimation methods and limitations of these data is critical. Herein, Paik et al. discuss the recent study by Chew and colleagues in the context of these limitations, highlighting how a worsening trend in NAFLD-liver mortality may have been underestimated in the analysis.
