Quantifying depression and the risk of chronic liver diseases: results from a large-scale longitudinal cohort study
We identified a significant association between depressive symptoms and subsequent development of chronic liver diseases. Based on observational findings, depressive symptoms may represent a potential early marker of liver disease risk. These findings highlight the importance of integrating mental health assessments into early routine clinical care.
