Late-night eating may raise liver disease risk by up to 30%, researchers say

Late-night snacking could be linked to an increased risk of liver disease, according to a new study involving nearly 200,000 people.

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University found that people who regularly ate late in the evening or around bedtime had a 20% to 30% higher risk of liver disease compared with those who avoided eating late.

The findings were published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
