NDTV
For each half-hour of sedentary behaviour above six hours per day, children had 15 per cent higher odds of developing fatty liver disease before the age of 25.
Kids who are sedentary for more than six waking hours a day have a significantly increased risk of severe fatty liver disease and liver cirrhosis by young adulthood, a new study warned on Saturday.
Fatty liver disease is a harmful fat buildup in the liver. When the condition is not due to alcohol consumption but linked to at least one of five components of metabolic syndrome, it is called metabolic-associated steatotic (fatty) liver disease (MASLD).
"We found that this relationship between sedentariness and liver damage is likely causal," said Professor Andrew Agbaje, of the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio, Finland, at 'ENDO 2024', the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Boston in the US.
