1 High Prevalence of Hepatic Fibrosis, Measured by Elastography, in a Population-Based Study of Mexican Americans  Gordon P. Watt, Miryoung Lee, Jen-Jung Pan, Michael B. Fallon, Rohit Loomba, Laura Beretta, Joseph B. McCormick, Susan P.

2 Figure 1 Liver stiffness measurements by point shear wave elastography with etiologies, Cameron County Hispanic Cohort (2015–2017). Disease etiology is represented by fill color. Most (88%) of participants with F2-F4 disease had nonviral, nonalcoholic etiologies. HCV, hepatitis C virus; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

3 Figure 2 Prevalence of steatosis (without significant fibrosis) and significant fibrosis (with or without steatosis), Cameron County Hispanic Cohort (2015–2017). The prevalence of significant fibrosis (F2–F4) was greatest in the younger 2 age groups. The presence of fibrosis and steatosis in young Mexican Americans highlights the need for effective community health interventions for younger individuals in the region.
