Abstract:
Childhood obesity has become a global public health issue. The incidence rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children has rapidly increased with the increase in obesity. Thus, NAFLD has become one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease in children. Currently, there are no officially approved drugs for the treatment of NAFLD in children. Lifestyle changes, including dietary and exercise interventions, are first-line treatment options for NAFLD in children in the absence of effective drugs. This article reviews the latest progress of these years in dietary and exercise interventions in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD in obese children.
