Joinpoint regression analyzed temporal trends, age\u2010period\u2010cohort models evaluated multidimensional effects, and Das Gupta decomposition explored contributions from population, aging, and epidemiological factors. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) assessed relationships with Human Development Index (HDI), while slope index of inequality (SII) and concentration index (CI) analyzed health inequalities. Bayesian age\u2010period\u2010cohort (BAPC) model projected 2024\u20132038 trends.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 2023, Asia carried 797.20 million prevalent cases (95% UI 693.74\u2013910.71), 30.61 million incident cases, 27,083 deaths, and 760,383 DALYs. ASPR and ASIR had increased since 1990 (EAPC +0.851% and +0.696%), while ASMR (\u22120.903%) and ASDR (\u22120.895%) had fallen. Country dispersion was extreme: Kuwait\u2019s ASPR exceeded Japan\u2019s more than fourfold, and Central Asia\u2019s ASMR was an order of magnitude above East Asia\u2019s. Decomposition attributed 69.75% of prevalence\u2010burden change to population growth and 29.00% to epidemiologic factors; East Asia was uniquely dominated by aging (47.24%). DEA flagged efficiency gaps in several upper\u2010HDI states, including Kazakhstan and the Gulf countries. SII rose from 4.882 to 8.864 (81.6%), while CI remained negative throughout, signaling widening absolute inequality and persistent concentration of burden among lower\u2010HDI populations. Projections to 2038 suggested gradual decline in all four indicators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Asia\u2019s NAFLD trajectory is not a uniform rise.
