Many people add salt to their food at the table, but it is not clear whether this habit affects liver health.

We studied nearly 500,000 British adults for about 14 years to find out if people who frequently add salt to their meals are more likely to develop fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat builds up in the liver, which can cause serious health problems.

We find that people who always add salt to their food have a 35% higher chance of developing fatty liver disease compared to those who rarely or never add salt.

This risk is especially high in people with certain inherited traits, those who regularly drink alcohol, and people of normal weight.

Our findings suggest that reducing salt added at the table could help protect your liver and this should be recommended to people to reduce the risk of developing liver disease.
