This cross-sectional survey conducted in Hangzhou, China, revealed that HRQL is impaired among patients with NAFLD. This study revealed a significant association between HRQL and sociodemographic factors, including sex, monthly income and marital status, alongside clinical factors such as liver stiffness, regular exercise and ALT level. Emphasising optimal care management is essential to improve HRQL in patients with NAFLD.
