Abstract:
Unhealthy dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle have led to a significant increase in the prevalence rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children, adolescents, and adults. In recent years, the biological-psychological-social medical pattern has attracted more and more attention, and internal psychosocial factors have become an important influencing factor for disease progression, treatment, and prognosis. Studies have shown that patients with NAFLD may experience psychosocial disorders, and this article summarizes the common psychosocial problems of these patients.
