    提要註: In the United States, the prevalence of NAFLD is estimated at 24% of the population, and by 2030, the incidence of NAFLD will increase to 100.9 million cases. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression in the Alaska Native/ American Indian population (AN/AI) with and without elevated liver function tests. Two research questions guided the study: Do outcomes (abnormal/normal) of LFTs, A1C, lipids, BMI, and inflammatory markers predict or have a relationship with NAFLD progression? Does NAFLD surveillance have a relationship with the patient's outcome as measured by the NAFLD Fibrosis score and FibroScan CAP Score? The theoretical approaches to this study were the transtheoretical model and the health belief model. A quantitative correlational design was used, requiring a minimum sample size of at least 92 participants. Secondary data were obtained from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium Liver Disease and Hepatitis Program database. The inclusion criteria of the study were AN/AI patients with NAFLD. The results of the study indicated that ALT, AST, and Steatohepatitis were significant predictors of NAFLD Fibrosis score. An increase in A1C, triglycerides, and BMI corresponded with an increase in CAP Scores, while an abnormal AST level corresponded to a decrease in CAP Scores. Plasma ALT evaluation resulted in a decrease in NALFD incidence rates. Various organizations may adopt these study findings to help them in formulating guidelines that will help them in educating the members of the public on risk factors of NAFLD, as well as advocate for appropriate mechanisms in mitigating them.  .
