Cigarette smoking may induce the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in men and women.
This study compared the rate of occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) between smokers and non-smokers. Researchers tracked the smoking habits and the diagnosis status of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among nearly 200,000 Korean men and women for an average of 4 years.
Researchers found out smoking raised the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This study demonstrated that cigarette smokers are liable to come down with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
