FIG. 2.

Cumulative incidence of HCC according to the presence and histological severity of NAFLD. NAFLD histological severity was defined in four categories: simple steatosis, NASH without fibrosis, noncirrhotic fibrosis, and cirrhosis. (For details, see Supporting Methods.) P values for the absolute incidence RDs for incident HCC between population comparators versus simple fibrosis, noncirrhotic fibrosis, and cirrhosis were all <0.001. P values were approximated using the normal distribution. Abbreviation: HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.
