Lifestyle modification in NAFLD/NASH: Facts and figures

Kate Hallsworth, Leon A Adams, Kate Hallsworth, Leon A Adams

Abstract

The development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is closely linked to lifestyle factors, namely excessive caloric intake coupled with reduced physical activity and exercise. This review aims to examine the evidence behind lifestyle change as a tool to improve hepatic steatosis and liver histology in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Furthermore, potential barriers to adopting lifestyle changes and strategies to overcome these barriers in the clinical setting are discussed.

Keywords: diet; lifestyle; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; physical activity/exercise; weight loss.

Extrahepatic benefits of physical activity and exercise for patients with NAFLD. Physical activity and exercise offer a host of extrahepatic benefits for patients with NAFLD across the disease spectrum and are useful tools to aid weight-loss maintenance. Increasing cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength can help to maintain and improve the ability to perform day-to-day activities and thus improve quality of life. NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
