Description
Jiaxin Zhu and co-authors link two vitamin levels with survival in fatty liver disease in a 2024 study. The disease, tied to metabolic dysfunction, is common, and both folate and vitamin B12 relate to how often it occurs. Whether the levels also predict death was unclear. The team used a large United States health survey with death records followed for over twenty years.
Both vitamins showed a curved link with death risk. Below the middle level, rising levels meant falling risk; above it, the benefit flattened. People in the higher folate and B12 bands had notably lower death risk than those in the lowest band, by roughly a quarter to two fifths for some groups. The authors say low levels of either vitamin mark higher risk in these patients.
