Liver International Oct 16, 2020

Zhang X, Goh GBB, Chan WK, et al. - This study evaluated the lifestyle habits of patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), compared across Asian regions, and find areas of deficiency. Researchers designed a multi‐centre controlled attenuation parameter‐Asia study to obtain clinical data and lifestyle habit data of NAFLD patients from Singapore, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was applied to evaluate physical activity. They enrolled a sum of 555 individuals in the final analysis (mean age 54.5 ± 11.2 years, 54.1% men, and median liver stiffness 6.7 kPa). It was reported that an unhealthy lifestyle and physical inactivity are common across Asian regions, despite some heterogeneity. The data reported that individuals with liver stiffness < 10 kPa were more likely to report any vigorous activity. To distinguish areas of deficiency, healthcare providers may use comparative data.
