Fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a meta-analysis of observational studies
Fondness for fruits and vegetables may improve an individual's chances of preventing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
This meta-analysis was undertaken to confirm the protective effect of a high fruit and vegetable diet against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers compiled data and evidence drawn out from a pool of 493,682 individuals who participated in 11 studies.
Researchers detected a downward trend in the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among participants with high intake of fruits and vegetables. "Our results indicate that increased consumption of vegetables and fruits is associated with a reduced likelihood of developing NAFLD," the study authors concluded.
