Abstract:
Background Fatty liver disease (FLD) is currently a global health problem associated with environmental and metabolic diseases. In addition to air pollution, chemicals, and dietary choices, metabolic problems can also contribute to the development of FLD. However, in order to understand this situation, environmental conditions need to be investigated comprehensively. Materials and methods This study used a scientific method to assess the environmental factors that play a role in FLD. Individuals from different ethnic backgrounds will be recruited as participants to increase diversity in the sample. The survey will include questions on food, exposure to air pollution, finances, and cultural practices. Statistical analysis will be conducted to further reveal environmental changes and factors that affect FLD, leading to a better understanding of environmental factors that cause FLD in the population. Results The study will significantly identify the environmental factors, such as diet, physical activity, exposure to pollutants, etc., that influence the progression and treatment outcomes of FLD. Conclusion This study will demonstrate that environmental factors influence the occurrence of FLD.
