Ultra-processed food consumption and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Systemic Inflammation and Health Cohort Study
Lovers of ultra-processed foods may be highly prone to suffer from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
This study investigated the influence of ultra-processed food consumption on the burden of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among 16,168 Chinese men and women. Ultra-processed food intake levels were compared with the frequency of occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the study population.
Researchers noticed individuals who consumed the most amount of ultra-processed foods had the highest tendency to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in this study. "This finding suggests that ultra-processed food, which is widely consumed worldwide, might be a modifiable dietary target to reduce the risk of NAFLD," the authors concluded.
