NAFLD in patients with T2DM seems to be associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and all cause death, even in patients with mild NAFLD. Risk differences for cardiovascular disease and all cause death between the no NAFLD group and the grade 1 or grade 2 NAFLD groups were higher in patients with T2DM than in those without T2DM.
