The causal impact of body mass index on metabolic biomarkers and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease risk
This study highlights the complex interactions between BMI, metabolic biomarkers, and NAFLD risk. By elucidating these relationships, we highlight potential targets for interventions aimed at reducing NAFLD incidence in populations with elevated BMI, ultimately contributing to improved metabolic health.
