OBESITY INCREASES YOUR RISK OF LIVER DISEASE

Obesity significantly increases your risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fat in the liver can cause inflammation, which lead to the development of fibrosis and cirrhosis. Cirrhotic patients with obesity, usually have alterations in specific aspects regarding nutritional behavior, such as poor protein intake, micronutrient issues, and excesive fat foods intake.

Obesity is related with many negative consequences for health and is closely associated to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is intimately related to the chronic intrahepatic inflammation that, in turn, is linked to adiposity and insulin resistance (1).
