Perspective
I'm cautious about assuming causation here. My concern is whether the study controlled for other factors like overall diet or alcohol consumption.
Source summary
Eating late at night could be putting your liver at risk, according to a large study led by Oregon Health & Science University. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 200,000 people and found that those who regularly ate after dinner or around bedtime had a 20% to 30% higher risk of liver disease, including fatty liver disease and cirrhosis.
