A recent study conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences
(AIIMS) has uncovered concerning statistics regarding non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease (NAFLD) in the Indian population. The research indicates that
a staggering 38% of Indians are affected by this condition, characterized
by excessive fat accumulation in the liver, unrelated to alcohol
consumption. NAFLD is often associated with obesity, diabetes, and
unhealthy lifestyle choices. The findings serve as a wake-up call for
public health authorities to address the escalating burden of this silent
liver disease. Implementing awareness campaigns, promoting healthier
dietary habits, and encouraging regular physical activity may help combat
the growing prevalence of NAFLD in India.
