Liver disease profile
The liver disease profile provides an invaluable resource relating to one of the main causes of premature mortality nationally.
Liver disease is almost entirely preventable with the major risk factors - alcohol, obesity, and hepatitis B and C - accounting for up to 90% of cases.
The liver disease profile presents data for key indicators around liver disease for England, the regions, and where possible, counties, unitary authorities (UAs) and districts.
Some of the indicators are also presented by sex and level of deprivation to highlight inequalities in liver disease outcomes and care between these groups.
Further indicators for alcohol and obesity are available in the alcohol profile and obesity, physical activity and nutrition profile.
Further data and evidence related to liver disease is available in the second Atlas of Variation in risk factors and healthcare for liver disease in England.
