Today is #WorldObesityDay.
Let's take this opportunity to talk about #obesity and raise awareness that it is a risk factor for #NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).
NAFLD is characterized by an accumulation of hepatic fat caused by a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.
It is the most common chronic liver disease in the world. If not diagnosed early, it can progress into #NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) and lead to irreversible damage such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.
On this #WorldObesityDay, it is important to break the taboos around obesity, improve understanding of the causes and support patients to limit the consequences and exposure to other chronic diseases.
