A recent study conducted by AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences)
has revealed a concerning prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) in India. The research indicates that a staggering 38% of the
Indian population is affected by this condition, which is characterized by
the accumulation of fat in the liver, not caused by alcohol consumption.
NAFLD poses significant health risks, including liver damage, inflammation,
and potential progression to more severe conditions like cirrhosis. The
study emphasizes the urgent need for awareness campaigns and proactive
healthcare measures to address this growing public health challenge in
India. Early detection, lifestyle modifications, and timely medical
interventions can help combat NAFLD and its adverse effects.
