Researchers want to understand why people born with low birth weight may have a higher risk of fatty liver disease later in life. This study will screen adults born with low birth weight and compare them to adults born at normal weight to look for signs of liver problems and understand who might need closer monitoring or future treatment.
Previous research showed that people born with low birth weight have three times more fat in their liver compared to those born at normal weight, and some develop fatty liver disease without knowing it. This study aims to understand how common this problem is and whether it's an early warning sign of more serious health problems later, so doctors can better identify and help at-risk people.

You will be invited to visits where researchers will perform imaging tests (like ultrasound or scans) to look at your liver and check for signs of fatty liver disease. Blood tests may also be done to measure liver health. This is a screening study, meaning researchers are gathering information to decide which people might benefit from future treatment studies. The full time commitment and number of visits will be explained when you are recruited.
