A closer look at “Late-Night Eating Linked to Higher Risk of Fatty Liver Disease and Cirrhosis”, exactly as the source publishes it. A new study suggests that the timing of meals may influence liver health, finding that eating late at night is associated with a higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cirrhosis. Researchers analyzed data from over 9,000 adults and found that those who consumed a larger proportion of their daily calories in the evening were more likely to have elevated liver fat and stiffness, markers of liver damage.
