I ricercatori hanno identificato un interessante legame tra la malattia del fegato grasso e i disturbi della personalit\u00e0. Dicono che le persone con steatosi epatica non alcolica (NAFLD) corrono un rischio tre volte maggiore di disturbi della personalit\u00e0.<\/p>\n

The findings were published in BMC Gastroenterology."Finding an increased prevalence of personality disorders in NAFLD patients is particularly striking, signifying that it's not an issue associated with all liver disease, but just those with NAFLD," Dr. Jonathan Catling, a co-author of the study, said in a news release.NAFLD is the most common form of chronic liver disease, caused due to excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells. It is associated with factors such as obesity, insulin resistance and high blood sugar.Patients often do not show any obvious symptoms, but some people may experience fatigue and discomfort in the abdomen.
