    TLDR Higher basal metabolic rate increases the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, especially in Chinese people, and may require tailored management.
    The study identifies a higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) as an independent and causally relevant risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It highlights a sex-specific effect in the Chinese population, suggesting that management strategies for NAFLD may need to be tailored to specific populations.
