Food Insecurity Is Highly Prevalent Amongst Patients With Chronic Liver Disease in Northern England: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis
FI was higher amongst patients with liver disease than the background population, and associated with ArLD, MASLD and cirrhosis. These results highlight an important paradox wherein FI contributes to obesity, so promoting consequent end-organ damage in MASLD, and compromises nutritional status. It is also a barrier to implementation of recommended diet lifestyle advice. Healthcare professionals should consider FI within holistic patient assessment.
