Abstract:
Obesity is a common cause of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Recently,the morbidity of NAFLD has increased rapidly worldwide,associated with obesity prevalence.NAFLD,metabolic syndrome(MS)and insulin resistance are closely related.The increase in weight,especially in visceral fat tissue,was the highest risk factor to cause NAFLD and MS,and for their progress.To NAFLD patients,the only effective measure is weight reduction,including reasonable diet and aerobic exercise.Moreover,a sound mentality and behavior are the key factors of the treatment of NAFLD.On the other hand,the literature lacks well-designed,randomized control trials that assess the efficacy of anti-obesity drug and weight-loss surgery on the long-term outcomes of NAFLD.
