Increased Serum Selenium Levels Are Associated with Reduced Risk of Advanced Liver Fibrosis and All-Cause Mortality in NAFLD Patients: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III.

CONCLUSIONS: The risk of advanced liver fibrosis is inversely associated with serum selenium levels, particularly in older patients, Caucasians, and females. All-cause mortality decreased with increased selenium levels. Selenium may play a role in the prevention of liver fibrosis in NAFLD. PMID: 32745632 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
