Age-specific prevalence of NAFLD. The prevalence of NAFLD increased according to age(trend chi-square value = 23.7292, p < 0.0001in total; chi-square value = 15.4859, p < 0.0001in male; trend chi-square value = 19.0515, p < 0.0001in female). The peak prevalence was in the 50-65 age group, up to 54% persons had NAFLD in total. The prevalence of NAFLD in males was significantly higher than females within the same age group (25% vs 3.89% in younger than 30- year old age group, 50% vs 13.29% in 30-39 age group, 56.06% vs 24.27% in 40-49 age group, and 57.35% vs 45.79% in 50-64 age group). In female, the prevalence increased dramatically after 50 years old. *The contraction between male and female in the same age group, p < 0.0001.
