Prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among inflammatory bowel disease patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies suggest that individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at a significantly higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared to the general populace. Furthermore, the coexistence of NAFLD is likely to intensify the overall health impact experienced by individuals with IBD.

Methods

This review aims to assess the prevalence of NAFLD and its associated risk factors in IBD patients through systematic analysis. We searched for relevant literature in the PubMed and Medline databases from January 2014 to April 2024 and conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively synthesize eligible studies, the search criteria were designed to encompass a broad spectrum of research investigating the link between IBD and NAFLD.
