Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This study examines the synergistic effects of multi-pollutant exposure on hepatic lipid accumulation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) through the application of an explainable machine learning framework. This approach addresses the limitations of traditional models in managing complex environmental interactions.
