Association of Bone Metabolism with Fatty Liver Disease in the Elderly in Japan: A Community-based Study.

Conclusion Although the BMD levels were the same, regardless of the presence or absence of FLD, elderly participants with FLD showed decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption, with sex differences. Because our results suggest that FLD in elderly individuals is detrimental for bone metabolism, and that it leads to bone loss and osteoporosis, further studies using a cohort population are warranted.
