AJG: The degree of physical activity is negatively correlated with non-alcoholic fatty liver

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease in the Western world and is associated with severe liver and extrahepatic comorbidities and mortality
.

In addition, due to the rapid increase in obesity and metabolic syndrome , the disease burden of NAFLD is expected to further increase in the coming decades

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease in the Western world and is associated with severe liver and extrahepatic comorbidities and mortality

 

The researchers conducted a cross-sectional analysis in a population-based study cohort in the Rotterdam area of ​​the Netherlands
.

The abdominal ultrasound and exercise accelerometer data of all patients were collected from 2009 to 2014

diagnosis

 

A total of 667 participants (age 63.
3 ± 6.
3 years, 53% women) were included in this study, and 34.
3% had NAFLD

After adjusting for population, life>

 

This study confirms that each intensity of physical activity is negatively correlated with the prevalence of NAFLD, and has a greater impact on higher intensity physical activity
.

This association is mediated by better metabolic health, mainly lower insulin resistance and waist circumference

This study confirms that each intensity of physical activity is negatively correlated with the prevalence of NAFLD, and has a greater impact on higher intensity physical activity
