A recent study conducted in a large public hospital in China sheds light on the prevalence and risk factors of NAFLD among non-obese patients with schizophrenia.

Notably, the prevalence of NAFLD among non-obese schizophrenia patients is higher than previously reported, underscoring the importance of increased awareness and screening for NAFLD in this vulnerable group.
