Selenium Levels and Fatty Liver: Is There a Sweet Spot for Survival?
This study suggests moderate selenium levels may be linked to better survival in fatty liver patients.
In nearly 1,800 American adults with fatty liver disease, those with higher blood selenium had a 64% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to the lowest group. But the benefit plateaued once selenium hit about 200 μg/L, so more wasn't better. Older adults and people with high blood pressure seemed to benefit most.
