Experts Warn That Lean Individuals Are Also at Risk for Fatty Liver Disease

Medical experts are highlighting that individuals with a thin physique can still develop fatty liver disease, challenging the misconception that the condition only affects those who are overweight.

Research indicates that metabolic factors, rather than just body weight, play a critical role in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in lean patients.

Health professionals are calling for more dynamic risk assessment strategies to identify and treat the condition early, regardless of a patient's body mass index (BMI).
