Specific aspects of social significant liver diseases, risk factors, and food safety: A comprehensive review

Abstract

In the contemporary landscape of scientific inquiry, the study and assessment of risk factors for chronic liver diseases have expanded substantially. This surge in research is driven by the heightened prevalence of common risk factors and the consequential socio-economic impact of chronic liver diseases. Beyond their medical implications, these diseases pose significant economic challenges. Recent scientific investigations affirm that chronic hepatitis (CH) and liver cirrhosis (LC) are predominantly shaped by identifiable risk factors. In this article, synthesizes current research, providing compelling evidence that underscores the societal importance of chronic liver diseases and their association with risk factors. The prevalence of these diseases and their directly linked risk factors is notably high in diverse populations. Moreover, the economic implications of chronic liver diseases extend beyond healthcare, highlighting the need for a multidimensional approach in understanding and addressing these health challenges. As the scientific community unravels the multifaceted nature of chronic liver diseases, this review contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the assertion that a comprehensive understanding of risk factors is crucial. Furthermore, the abstract advocates for an integrated approach, exploring the intersectionality between risk factors for liver diseases and the critical issue of food safety. By recognizing and addressing this complex interplay, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and researchers can develop targeted interventions that encompass both medical and socio-economic dimensions, fostering a more resilient and healthier society.
