Background Significant hepatic fibrosis is associated with higher mortality. However, data on the estimated prevalence of liver fibrosis in the general population are scarce. Aim To use magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to investigate the prevalence of hepatic fibrosis in a Korean health check‐up clinic cohort. Methods We enrolled 2170 participants at our health check‐up clinic between January 2015 and May 2018, all of whom had MR with chemical shift technique and MRE. The primary objective was to estimate the prevalence of liver …
