Commentary
The impact of changes in sleep duration and sleep quality over time on the risk of NAFLD is not known. In a cohort study included 86,530 Korean adults, YJ Um et al. (Total Healthcare Center, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea) investigated whether changes in sleep duration and quality are associated with the risk of developing incident NAFLD.
For the authors, a decrease in sleep duration or poor sleep quality over time is associated with an increased risk of incident NAFLD.
