High salt diet causally increases metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease risk: A bidirectional mendelian randomization study.

Abstract excerpt

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a prevalent liver disorder associated with metabolic and lifestyle factors, affecting approximately 25% of the global population. Although high salt intake has been implicated as a potential dietary risk factor, its causal relationship with MASLD remains uncertain. We hypothesized that genetic liability to higher salt intake causally increases...
