Article Synopsis
- Hepatic fibrosis is a critical factor in assessing the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and this study aimed to explore how diet and physical activity influence this relationship.
- A total of 349 participants were evaluated using FibroScan scores and provided information on their eating habits and physical activity levels through questionnaires.
- Results indicated that those with advanced fibrosis consumed more fried foods and had lower physical activity, with a higher risk of fibrosis progression linked to frequent fried food intake and a significant decrease in risk associated with higher exercise levels.
Physical exercise has demonstrated benefits for managing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, in daily life maintaining exercise without help may be difficult. A whole-body vibration device (WBV) has been recently introduced as an exercise modality that may be suitable for patients who have difficulty engaging in exercise.

- Aerobic training is usually recommended for treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but resistance training and a new method called acceleration training (AT) are also showing effectiveness.
- A study involved 18 obese patients with NAFLD who underwent 12 weeks of AT, consisting of 20-minute sessions twice a week.
- Results showed improvements in muscle strength and size, significant reductions in liver fat and various inflammatory markers, and enhanced overall health quality, indicating that AT can be beneficial for managing NAFLD in obese individuals.
