Summary

This study looks at whether people born with a low birth weight have a higher chance of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as adults. Researchers will compare 250 low-birth-weight adults with 50 normal-birth-weight adults using liver scans and other tests. The goal is to confirm earlier findings and better understand this potential link.
