Increased Serum Uric Acid over five years is a Risk Factor for Developing Fatty Liver

The prevalence of fatty liver disease (FLD) is increasing. To clarify risk factors for developing FLD, we analyzed a database from healthy Japanese adults who had annual medical check-ups in 2004 and reexamined in 2009.
