Rising Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Linked to Hidden Sugars and Lifestyle Factors in India

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly affecting young, non-drinking individuals in India, with about one in five people at risk. Experts attribute this rise to hidden sugars in so-called healthy foods and lifestyle factors such as poor diet, inactivity, and metabolic imbalances. Early detection is challenging due to subtle or absent symptoms, but lifestyle modifications including dietary changes and exercise are recommended to prevent and manage the condition.
