Article Synopsis
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease, and a study compared its impact between Arab and Jewish patients in Israel, analyzing data from over 200,000 individuals.
- Arab patients with NAFLD were diagnosed at a younger age and presented with higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and severe complications, such as cirrhosis and portal hypertension-related issues, compared to Jewish patients.
- Despite the higher complication rates, Arab patients demonstrated lower all-cause mortality and slightly higher liver transplantation rates, indicating the need for tailored prevention and treatment strategies based on ethnicity.
