Association of occupational noise exposure and shift work with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study of male workers in the Chinese automobile manufacturing industry
Occupational noise exposure may be an independent risk factor for NAFLD. It may synergistically affect disease when combined with night shift work, particularly among younger workers. These findings underscore the importance for companies to prioritise the management and training of younger workers, along with targeted occupational health education initiatives, as crucial measures for reducing the incidence of NAFLD.
