Body composition mediates the association between fatty acids and NAFLD risk: a prospective cohort study
This study highlights that body compositions, particularly central obesity, may partially mediate the relationship between plasma FAs and the incidence of severe NAFLD, suggesting that dietary interventions, when integrated with broader strategies to reduce central adiposity, could be critical for preventing NAFLD.
