Summary

This completed study followed 1,681 people with steatotic liver disease (fatty liver) in Germany to observe how the condition progresses over time. Researchers measured liver stiffness, inflammation, and tracked whether participants developed heart problems or tumors. The goal was to better understand the natural course of the disease, not to test a new treatment.
