Summary

This study looks at how not having enough healthy food at home affects liver disease in children with MASLD (a fatty liver condition). Researchers will track 160 children from California liver and weight clinics to see if food insecurity leads to worse liver damage. The goal is to understand if poor diet quality explains the link, which could help improve care for these families.
