Phase 1 determined the perceived fatigue experienced by NAFLD patients (assessed using the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS)) in comparison with normal and liver disease controls, and the relationship to physical function (actigraphy). In phase 2, biological associations of fatigue in NAFLD were explored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fatigue was markedly higher in NAFLD patients than in controls (mean (SD) FIS 51 (38) vs 8 (12), p&lt;0.001). NAFLD patients showed significantly lower physical activity over 6 days (7089 (2909) mean steps\/day vs 8676 (2894), p\u200a=\u200a0.02). A significant inverse correlation was seen between FIS and physical activity (r2\u200a=\u200a0.1, p\u200a=\u200a0.02). Fatigue experienced by NAFLD patients was similar to that in primary biliary cirrhosis (n\u200a=\u200a36) (FIS 64 (9) vs 61 (2), p\u200a=\u200aNS). No association was seen between FIS and biochemical and histological markers of liver disease severity or insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)) (r2&lt;0.005). Significant association was seen between fatigue severity and daytime somnolence (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) (r2\u200a=\u200a0.2, p&lt;0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fatigue is a significant problem in NAFLD, is similar in degree to that in primary biliary cirrhosis patients and is associated with impairment in physical function.
