Attia cites NHANES analysis linking alcohol plus fatty liver to 15-fold liver mortality

Metabolic liver health: how to assess risk, catch dysfunction early, and more (AMA 88 sneak peek)
What was said
"But steattosis plus what they described as moderate and I might call moderate plus alcohol consumption produced hazard ratios of 1.4 for all cause mortality, 2.35 for cancer mortality, and a whopping 15, please check that number again. Yes, 15 X for liver specific mortality versus people with no steotic liver disease."
Peter Attia cites an NHANES cohort analysis suggesting that, among people with existing cardiometabolic risk factors, fatty liver combined with “moderate” (or higher) alcohol intake was associated with markedly higher mortality hazards than fatty liver alone. He quotes hazard ratios of 1.4 for all-cause mortality, 2.35 for cancer mortality, and 15 for liver-specific mortality, while flagging the need to double-check the figure.
