Story at-a-glance
- Fatty liver disease affects nearly 25% of adults globally and progresses silently, leading to cirrhosis, heart disease, diabetes, and liver cancer
- Research shows that fatty liver disease significantly increases mortality risk, especially from endocrine disorders and during the first year after diagnosis
- Cardiovascular disease ranks as a top threat for people with fatty liver disease, with advanced liver fibrosis substantially increasing the risk of serious adverse events
- Excessive fructose consumption from processed foods triggers de novo lipogenesis (fat creation) in the liver and promotes insulin resistance, even without alcohol consumption
- Treatment focuses on addressing root causes through dietary changes, regular physical activity, weight management, muscle-building, and addressing metabolic imbalances like insulin resistance
