Autonomic Imbalance Increases the Risk for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
BackgroundAlthough autonomic imbalance is associated with an increased risk for metabolic disease, its effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate whether autonomic dysfunction predicts the risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).MethodsA total...
