The Claim
Evening chronotype may amplify the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in individuals who work shifts, indicating that individual circadian rhythms interact with work schedules to influence liver health.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who naturally stay up late might be more likely to develop a fatty liver if they work night shifts or irregular hours, because their body clock doesn’t match their work schedule.
See the scientific wording
Evening chronotype (preference for late-night activity) may amplify the risk of MASLD in shift workers, suggesting individual circadian rhythms interact with work schedules to influence liver health.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that people who work odd hours are more likely to have fatty liver disease, and it also noticed that night-owl types (people who prefer staying up late) seem to be at even higher risk when they work shifts — which is exactly what the claim says.
