report novel results regarding the protective effects of coffee and herbal tea consumption
on liver stiffness, which is a proxy for liver fibrosis, measured using FibroScan.
Their cross-sectional study was nested inside a large population-based cohort of participants
aged 45 and older (mean age 66.5 ± 7.4 years) in Rotterdam.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
