Description
Bruno Basil, Winifred Adiri, Ejike Lawrence Ugwu, and Ngozi Ijeoma Okoro pool the evidence on whether low vitamin D travels with fatty liver disease in people who have type 2 diabetes. The vitamin's deficiency is a plausible, fixable contributor to liver fat, but the diabetes-specific literature disagrees. Their search of records from two thousand to twenty twenty-five found ten qualifying studies covering over four thousand participants.
Most studies came from Asia and the Middle East. Pooling showed patients with fatty liver disease had significantly lower circulating vitamin D than those without, with roughly a half-standard-deviation gap. Liver status came from imaging, elastography, or biomarker scores. The authors flag the geographic narrowness as the evidence base's main weakness.
