Атеросклероз и НАЖБП представляют собой метаболически взаимосвязанные патологические состояния, имеющие общие факторы риска и механизмы развития. НАЖБП ассоциирована с повышенным риском сердечно-сосудистых событий (ССС) независимо от традиционных факторов риска. Установлена связь между степенью выраженности стеатоза печени и прогрессированием субклинического атеросклероза. Определена ключевая роль инсулинорезистентности, дислипидемии, окислительного стресса и хронического воспаления в патогенезе обоих заболеваний. Терапевтические подходы, направленные на коррекцию метаболических нарушений, могут оказывать положительное влияние на течение обеих нозологий. Целесообразно рассматривать НАЖБП как независимый фактор риска ССС. Перспективны дальнейшие исследования, направленные на разработку комплексных стратегий лечения, учитывающих патофизиологическую взаимосвязь этих состояний.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals for the period 2010-2025. The authors used a systematic approach to search, selection, and analysis of studies on the relationship between atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Atherosclerosis and NAFLD are metabolically interconnected pathological conditions with common risk factors and mechanisms of development. NAFLD is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) independently of traditional risk factors. The study has revealed a relationship between the severity of liver steatosis and the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis. The key role of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis of both diseases has been identified. Therapeutic approaches aimed at correcting metabolic disorders may have a positive impact on the course of both conditions. It is reasonable to consider NAFLD as an independent risk factor for CVD. Further research is needed to develop comprehensive treatment strategies that take into account the pathophysiological relationship between these conditions.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>атеросклероз</kwd><kwd>неалкогольная жировая болезнь печени</kwd><kwd>метаболический синдром</kwd><kwd>инсулинорезистентность</kwd><kwd>системное воспаление</kwd><kwd>эндотелиальная дисфункция</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atherosclerosis</kwd><kwd>non-alcoholic fatty liver disease</kwd><kwd>metabolic syndrome</kwd><kwd>insulin resistance</kwd><kwd>systemic inflammation</kwd><kwd>endothelial dysfunction</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ack><p>Работа выполнена в ОГУ имени И.С.
