Body weight gain rather than body weight variability associated with increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract Weight loss, the most established therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is frequently followed by weight regain and fluctuation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether body weight change and variability were independent risk factors for incident NAFLD. We conducted...
