Exploring the relationship between air pollution, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and liver function indicators: a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis study
This MR study found no evidence of a causal relationship between air pollution and NAFLD in European populations. However, a statistically significant association was observed between PM10 and ALB levels, suggesting that the air pollutant PM10 may impact the liver's ability to synthesize proteins.
