- * Out of nearly 80,000 participants, more than half showed at least one metabolic risk factor, with 1.1% identified as MU and at high risk for NAFLD due to persistently elevated ALT levels.
- * The researchers employed a step-wise evaluation approach, allowing for low-cost identification of at-risk individuals in the community, highlighting an effective strategy for dealing with metabolic health issues in resource-poor areas.
