00:10So, what's the deal?

00:12Researchers looked at 246 adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,

00:17average age 48, and 6 out of 10 were women.

00:21Get this, 22% had gallstones found on ultrasound, often without symptoms.

00:26Women and folks over 50 were especially at risk.

00:3071% of the gallstone cases were female and they were a few years older than those without stones.

00:36The study also found higher triglycerides and a liver enzyme called GGT in people with gallstones.
