Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased incidence of osteoporosis and bone fractures

This finding suggests that NAFLD patients might benefit from improved monitoring for the occurrence of bone demineralization and osteoporosis, which in turn could trigger preventive therapeutic measures.PMID:34710938 | DOI:10.1055/a-1482-9236
