AAPC is a weighted average of the APCs (a maximum number of 2 joinpoints was allowed). Age standardization is based on the direct method to the Census 2000 population by 10‐year age groups. NAFLD‐related deaths are defined by ICD‐10 codes using underlying or contributing cause of death certificates.
†
Age‐standardized death rates were averaged over the period 2007‐2016.
