A recent study reveals that nearly a third of adults in the US, UK, Germany, and France have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a silent and often undiagnosed condition that can lead to serious health issues like liver cirrhosis and cancer. Most people are unaware they have it due to lack of symptoms, but it can be reversed with weight loss and lifestyle changes. Experts warn it is one of the most deadly yet underdiagnosed diseases.
More than a third of adults fail to get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep each night, which can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affecting over one in four American adults. NAFLD, often asymptomatic, is associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obstructive sleep apnea. Lack of high-quality sleep has been linked to weight gain, increased hunger, and adverse blood sugar control, contributing to the risk of NAFLD. Screening and early intervention, including a low-carbohydrate diet, weight management, and regular exercise, are crucial in managing and potentially reversing fatty liver disease.
