Discussion

Meta-analysis reveals a significant link between air pollutants and NAFLD risk, suggesting public health implications.

High levels of PM2.5 and PM10 are associated with a 24% increased risk of NAFLD.
Exposure to NO₂ shows a 22% higher risk, indicating a concerning link to air quality.
The study synthesized evidence from 10 cohort and cross-sectional studies for robust findings.
Understanding this risk is vital for developing effective public health strategies in polluted areas.

Zhang et al. (2025) studied this question.
