From another article:
"Researchers also studied the five-year outcomes among all transgender and cisgender patients with cirrhosis. Interestingly, despite the differences in the two groups, the number of possible negative outcomes of cirrhosis -- liver failure, liver transplant and liver cancer, as well as death, by any cause -- was the same."
I'm guessing that since most trans people are regular patients to some degree, they are more likely to take early preventative measures.
