Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in overweight Indian adolescents and its relationship with various clinical and biochemical factors.
- - Out of 218 adolescents aged 10-16, 62.5% were diagnosed with NAFLD, with significant differences in body fat, blood pressure, and liver enzymes between those with and without the condition.
- - Factors such as abdominal obesity and insulin resistance were found to be independently linked to NAFLD, highlighting the need for awareness and management of these risk factors in overweight youth.
