Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and bone mineral density (BMD) in 147 adults undergoing liver biopsies and DXA scans.
- The participants included 53% with steatosis, 25% with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and 23% without NAFLD (controls), but the BMD results showed no significant differences between these groups.
- Findings suggest that the severity of NAFLD (assessed by NAFLD activity score) does not affect BMD, indicating that steatosis and NASH do not harm bone mineral density in these relatively young patients.
