Zusammenfassung:	OBJECTIVE—To evaluate the associations between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS—A total of 8632 participants aged ≥40 years from Jiading district, Shanghai, were included in the present study. The presence of NAFLD was evaluated by ultrasonography. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) were measured in each participant. The prevalence of NAFLD was 30.0% in the total population, with 30.3% in men and 29.9% in women, respectively. Subjects with NAFLD had remarkably higher CIMT and ba-PWV compared with those without NAFLD (0.594±0.105 mm versus 0.578±0.109 mm, P
