Association of meat consumption with NAFLD risk and liver-related biochemical indexes in older Chinese: A cross-sectional study
BMC Gastroenterology May 28, 2021
Peng H, Xie X, Pan X, et al. - In this study, the relationship between meat consumption with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk and liver-related biochemical indexes in middle-aged and elderly Chinese was explored. Between April 2015 and August 2017, researchers performed a cross-sectional study on individuals who were 45 years or older and had undergone a physical examination in Southeast China. Inverse probability of treatment weighting and subgroup analyses were performed with logistic regressions to investigate associations between meat intake and NAFLD risk. They performed Spearman’s rank correlation to evaluate the association between meat consumptions and liver-related biochemical indexes. The data imply that the reduction of meat consumption may decrease NAFLD risk and should warrant further investigations.
