Since the liver plays a key role in lipid metabolism, an abnormal lipid profile may be an indirect signal.

Who cares?

Although the disease mainly affects people who are overweight or have diabetes, it can also occur in people who are thin, lead a sedentary lifestyle or have a family history of metabolic disorders.

Worse still, it increasingly affects children and adolescents, which is a direct result of the Western lifestyle characterized by a sedentary lifestyle and an unbalanced diet.

Early diagnosis can change everything

The good news: fatty liver disease is reversible if you take action early. Simple tests like blood tests (liver function, blood sugar, cholesterol), ultrasound, and even fibroscopy can give you an accurate picture.

Treatment is based primarily on hygiene and diet:

• Gradual weight loss
• Balanced diet (Mediterranean style)
• Regular physical activity (30 minutes a day is enough)

In short, don’t let your liver suffer in silence: paying attention to these signals is crucial to your long-term health.
