Nearly 40% of Indian Adults Affected by Fatty Liver Disease, Experts Warn

Fatty liver disease, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affects nearly 30 to 40 percent of adults in India, according to recent studies and expert observations. Often developing silently without symptoms, it is linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, obesity, insulin resistance, and genetics. The condition can progress to serious liver damage if untreated, highlighting the importance of early awareness and lifestyle management. Notably, even individuals with normal weight may develop fatty liver due to visceral fat accumulation.
