TOPLINE:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an independent risk factor for precancerous colorectal adenomatous polyps in men and women, according to results of a large study.
METHODOLOGY:
Researchers conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of adults who underwent abdominal ultrasound and colonoscopy at a single hospital in China from January 2018 to December 2022 to determine NAFLD status and presence of polyps.
Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to detect associations between NAFLD and adenomatous and non-adenomatous polyps.
