Correlation of serum cotinine with fatty liver index in adults: data from the NHANES March 2017 and 2018
This study of a nationally representative sample demonstrates a positive association between serum cotinine and FLI, characterized by an inverted U-shaped curve. Both active and passive smoking emerge as a risk factor for the development and progression of MASLD. Smoking cessation is recommended to manage MASLD and support liver and cardiovascular health.
