Fatty Liver Emerges as India's Fastest-Growing Liver Health Threat

AIIMS doctors have warned that fatty liver disease has overtaken hepatitis as the fastest-growing liver-related health threat in India.

The rise is attributed to changing dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles, with medical experts calling for urgent public awareness and early screening programs.

Unlike viral hepatitis, which is often managed through vaccination and specific antivirals, fatty liver requires long-term lifestyle interventions to prevent progression to cirrhosis or liver failure.
