Core Tip
Core Tip: The study by Jiang et al reveals strong bidirectional associations between gallstone disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and kidney stone disease. These interconnected conditions share common risk factors such as obesity and insulin resistance. Recognizing this relationship is essential for integrated prevention and early detection strategies. A multidisciplinary approach, screening for multiple metabolic disorders, and lifestyle modifications are crucial for reducing disease progression. The study highlights the need for further research into causal mechanisms and the impact of diet and lifestyle on these interconnected diseases.
