The Claim
Younger adults, particularly women in their 20s, may be more susceptible to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) due to shift work compared to older adults, indicating that age and sex modify the biological impact of circadian disruption on the liver.
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 in their 20s, especially women who work nights or irregular hours, might be more likely to develop a fatty liver condition than older workers, because their bodies may react more strongly to disrupted sleep schedules.
See the scientific wording
Younger adults (particularly women in their 20s) may be more susceptible to MASLD from shift work than older adults, suggesting age and sex modify the biological impact of circadian disruption on the liver.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that people who work irregular hours (like night shifts) are more likely to have fatty liver disease, and it hints that younger women might be more affected than older people — which matches what the claim says.
