This meta-analysis looked at data from 2,142 people with Type 2 Diabetes and a group of people without the condition. The researchers compared liver fat content and fat inside the pancreas between these two groups. They found that people with Type 2 Diabetes had significantly higher levels of liver fat compared to those without the condition.
The study also looked at how much fat was in the pancreas. They found that studies where the average amount of pancreatic fat was 10% or higher showed a larger amount of excess liver fat. However, this specific finding was not consistent when the researchers tested it in several different ways.
It is important to note that these results are based on group data rather than individual results. Additionally, the link between pancreatic fat and liver fat became less clear when the researchers adjusted for body mass index (BMI). Because this is a large-scale review of several studies, it shows a general trend but does not provide a specific medical plan for individuals.
