10,000 seniors studied to predict fatty liver dangers
NCT ID NCT07537829
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 10,000 older adults (age 60+) with fatty liver disease to find out what increases their risk for serious liver problems like scarring, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. Researchers used medical records and yearly check-ups to build a computer model that predicts these risks. The study did not test any treatments—it only observed and analyzed existing data.

Who is studied
The study population is derived from the Nanjing Elderly Steatotic Liver Disease Cohort, which includes individuals aged ≥60 years with imaging or biopsy-confirmed hepatic steatosis. Participants underwent annual health examinations from 2018 to March 2026. Data on demographics, lifestyle, anthropometrics, laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasound, and medication use were collected. All data were retrospectively extracted from medical records and the cohort database.
