Cases of fatty liver are increasing rapidly in the country. The government has taken major steps to prevent this disease. Union Health Minister J P Nadda said in Parliament that all states have been asked to screen people and identify fatty livers. Nadda said the government has issued guidelines for this. The purpose of these guidelines is to inform people about fatty liver and promote a healthy lifestyle. The disease is now called metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), formerly called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This happens when excess fat accumulates in the liver. It is associated with diseases such as obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol.
Health Minister said that under the National Non-Communicable Disease Control Programme, it has been considered necessary to avoid a healthy diet, daily exercise, weight control and eating extra sugar to prevent and manage fatty liver. States have been told that doctors should conduct tests as per the guidelines and give proper treatment to the patient if needed
Staggering results in research
Ndda also reported the results of two large studies in Parliament. The first study was published in Nature Scientific Reports Journal in 2025. This included 345 IT employees from Hyderabad. The report found that 34 per cent of employees had metabolic syndrome and 84 per cent had fat in the liver. That is, this problem is very common in the IT sector.
The second study was carried out by ICMR. In this, the risk of liver disease, diabetes and blood pressure was seen in many villages of Rajasthan. It was found that about 37 percent of people had fatty liver, and this problem was more common in men. This risk was found to be higher in people who ate fast food once a week
What is the government doing?
Nadda said that in order to prevent diseases like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and cancer, the government is providing primary health services through Ayushman Arogya Mandir. Along with this, the Ministry of Health is also conducting awareness campaigns from time to time
FSSAI is also giving people lever related information through social media. The Fit India Movement and Yoga related activities are being continuously carried out by the Ministry of Sports and The Ministry of AYUSH so that people remain healthy
doctors say that if fatty liver is not stopped in time, it can cause liver failure, diabetes and heart disease. Therefore, daily exercise, healthy diet and regular checkups are very important.
