Fatty Liver: Fatty liver is a rapidly increasing disease in the world, the cause of which is said to be unbalanced eating habits and excessive drinking of alcohol. A recent study has revealed that poor metabolism can also be a major cause of fatty liver. This study, conducted in 11 districts of the capital Delhi under the ILBS survey, shows that one out of every two people above 18 years of age is a victim of Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD). Let us know what has been revealed in this survey.
Connection of Fatty Liver and Metabolic Disorders
This study was conducted on six thousand people of Delhi under the Institute of Biliary Sciences (ILBS). According to this study, 56 percent of the total people studied were found to be suffering from metabolic associated fatty liver disease. This study found that most of the people who had metabolic associated fatty liver disease were obese. Only 11 percent of these people were of normal weight or average weight. This study showing the connection between metabolic disorders and fatty liver has been published in the Journal of Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
This disease takes the form of liver cancer
Doctors say that earlier MAFLD was called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Health experts have expressed concern over the rapidly increasing cases of MAFLD and said that there is a great need to reduce the risk of MAFLD because it can completely damage the liver. Let us tell you that MAFLD is associated with serious liver diseases such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver lesions or liver damage. When this disease reaches the third stage, the person becomes vulnerable to liver cancer and the risk of premature death increases.
Causes of fatty liver and ways to avoid it
Fatty liver occurs many years before drinking alcohol as well as diseases like high cholesterol, diabetes, high BP. Doctors say that a person should be careful and stop or reduce drinking alcohol before the condition of fatty liver occurs. Apart from this, this disease can also be avoided by controlling the increasing weight. This disease can be stayed away through balanced diet and regular exercise.
