People with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) might be at higher risk of colorectal polyps than their peers without the condition, with men being at most risk, a study suggests.
The systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 observational studies showed that a NAFLD diagnosis was associated with a 34% increase in odds of having a colorectal polyp, compared with people without the disease.
