Hidden liver risk in India's youth: study finds half of young adults may have fatty liver, reversible with lifestyle shifts
TL;DR Summary
A study of prospective liver donors aged 20–40 found about 50% had fatty liver, with many appearing healthy, highlighting a broader risk beyond BMI. A follow-up showed this condition can be reversed quickly using GLP-1 weight‑loss drugs plus aggressive lifestyle changes, though lasting recovery still relies on sustained healthy habits; the report also stresses early screening and attention to abdominal fat as key risk markers.
