25 Jul 2025 • A study of 28,003 women found that childbirth may protect against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in premenopausal women when weight and metabolic health are managed.

NAFLD prevalence was 21% overall, 15.3% in premenopausal and 26.1% in postmenopausal women.

While unadjusted data showed higher NAFLD risk with parity (OR 1.72), adjusted analysis revealed a protective effect (OR 0.61), consistent for 1–2 births (OR 0.59) and ≥3 births (OR 0.64).
