| Core Tip |
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases worldwide and presents evolutional potential for more severe forms of the disease such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The most effective treatment is based on changes in lifestyle, diet and exercise; however, this presents the challenge of having to be performed for a long time. The diagnosis, especially of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), requires invasive examination such as liver biopsy. The anthropometric clinical indicators of visceral obesity, of easy applicability and low cost, have been very promising in the prediction of NAFLD. Thus, future studies could be conducted to use them in the prediction of NASH, besides assisting in the therapeutic and preventive conduction NASH. |
