How To Decipher Silent Signs Of Fatty Liver In Children And Prevent It? Hear From An Expert

Fatty liver disease affects one in three children in India. Learn from an expert how silent signs can be deciphered and how lifestyle interventions can help prevent and treat fatty liver disease in children.
Did you know that one in three children in India is affected by fatty liver disease? A recent study by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, found that 35% of Indian children suffer from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This condition, previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, was renamed to avoid the stigma tied to alcohol use.

Alarmingly, these numbers are much higher than the global average of 25%. A similar study published two years ago in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology confirmed the trend, showing that 35.4% of Indian children had MASLD. This growing prevalence calls for urgent attention and awareness pertinent to prevention and recognising signs. To shed light on the same, we at OnlyMyHealth connected with an expert, Dr. Prashant Kadam, Consultant, Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary & Liver Transplant, SL Raheja Hospital Mahim.
