nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, both in adults and in children. nafld represents a spectrum of liver diseases that range from hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. however, nafld is more prevalent in overweight and obese individuals. evidence thus far suggests that hepatic triglyceride accumulaâ­tion is not always derive...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between NAFLD and the prognosis of CRC remains unclear. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates in patients with CRC and the secondary objective was to compare clinicopathologic...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (or NAFLD) is a recently recognized chron­ ic liver disease, strongly linked to obesity. As the number of obese Americans has doubled in the past three decades, not sur­ prisingly, NAFLD is becoming increasingly common. The hallmark of persons with NAFLD is having too much fat in the liver. This fat is deposited within the cells of the liver (the medical term is...

N 'onalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes a spectrum of hepatic pathology that resembles alcohol-induced liver disease but develops in individuals who are not heavy drinkers. NAFLD is likely to be the most common cause of chronic liver disease in many countries and may also potentiate liver damage induced by other agents, such as alcohol, industrial toxins, and hepatotrophic viruses. ...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to the presence of hepatic steatosis not associated with a significant intake of ethanol. Insulin resistance is central to the pathogenesis of NAFLD; thus obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome are frequently associated with the disease. Consequently, as these metabolic conditions emerge as major health problems in Western society, it is no...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is known in the general public as an epidemic disease. The purpose of this mini-review was to determine a link between physical education (PA) and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) determine the influence of an exercise method (volume and kind of exercise) on being health outcome. Body mass index (BMI) was the good criteria for classifying obesity. I...
