Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease as assessed by the Fatty Liver Index among migrant and non-migrant Ghanaian populations
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is driven by high caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle.

| Zusammenfassung: | Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is driven by high caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle. Migration towards high income countries may induce these driving factors; yet, the influence of such on the prevalence of MAFLD is clearly understudied. Here, we investigated the Fatty Liver Index (FLI), a proxy of steatosis in MAFLD, after migration of Ghanaian subjects. |
