- Pediatric metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a pressing global issue, and lifestyle changes, particularly diet, are crucial for treatment.
- A study involving 119 children assessed their dietary habits using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and found that those with healthier diets had lower body weight and better lipid profiles.
- The research suggests that a diet lower in added sugars and fats can help reduce metabolic risks and liver damage in children with MAFLD, emphasizing the need for objective dietary assessments.
