Researchers are investigating whether fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) may be connected to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition where fat builds up in the liver without alcohol being the cause. By comparing vitamin levels in 4,000 people with and without this condition, the study aims to understand if vitamin deficiencies increase the risk of developing fatty liver disease.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is becoming more common, but doctors don't fully understand all the factors that contribute to it. This research could help identify whether vitamin deficiencies are part of the problem and whether checking or correcting these vitamins might help prevent or manage the condition.
You would visit the research center once to provide basic health information and have blood drawn to measure your vitamin levels and other health markers. Your abdominal ultrasound results would be reviewed to determine whether you have fatty liver disease. The researchers would then compare your vitamin levels with others in the study to look for patterns and connections.
