Article Synopsis
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent chronic liver condition linked with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, which increases cardiovascular disease risk, but lifestyle changes can enhance health outcomes.
- This study evaluated a 12-week digital health program aimed at improving engagement, retention, and user satisfaction while monitoring health changes related to weight and metabolic factors among individuals with NAFLD, obesity, or diabetes.
- Among the 38 participants, 89% completed the program, reporting high satisfaction (median score of 6.3/7), with an average weight loss of 3.5 kg and notable improvements in overall metabolic health indicators.
