Research has shown that elevated levels of iron in the blood from hereditary hemochromatosis can raise the risk of HCC.

Advanced stages of NAFLD were more commonly seen in people whose mothers had obesity or overweight during pregnancy.

Less than 10% of people with cirrhosis were regularly monitored for liver cancer.

However, no association was found between drinking coffee and liver fat accumulation.

From 1995 to 2016, hepatocellular carcinoma incidence in rural populations climbed by 218%.

Sugary drinks also led to lowered insulin sensitivity, a risk factor for diabetes.

People doing more than 300 minutes of physical activity per week nearly halved their risk for NAFLD.

Working more than 40 hours per week was linked to a higher risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Individuals with both fatty liver diseae and obesity had the greatest risk of sleep apnea.

But a simple improvement in dietary intake reversed fatty liver disease and staved off cancer.
