Dose–response relationship between tea consumption and mortality, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal outcomes in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a prospective cohort study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 360,548 people in the UK Biobank. It checked if drinking tea was linked to kidney disease in people with fatty liver. The study found a link, but it does not prove that tea causes the change. This is an observational study, so it shows a connection, not proof of cause.
