- The study investigates the link between hypertension and the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Peruvian adults with obesity.
- The analysis included 234 participants, revealing a significant prevalence of hypertension (19.2%) and severe NAFLD (46.2%).
- Results showed that individuals with severe NAFLD had a higher prevalence of hypertension, particularly among those without metabolic syndrome, suggesting a strong association between the two conditions.
