Fatty liver cases are increasing rapidly in the country. The government has taken big steps to prevent this disease. Union Health Minister JP Nadda told in Parliament that all states have been asked to investigate people and identify fatty liver. Nadda said that the government has issued guidelines for this. The purpose of these guidelines is to inform people about fatty liver and promote healthy lifestyle. Now this disease is called metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which was previously called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This happens when more fat accumulates in the liver. It is related to diseases like obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol.
The Health Minister said that under the National Non -Communicable Disease Control Program, it has been said to be necessary to prevent and manage fatty liver, daily exercise, weight control and more Chinese and fat to avoid more. States have been asked to check according to the guideline and get the patient right treatment if needed.
Shocking results in research
Nadda also explained the results of two big studies in Parliament. The first study printed in Nature Scientific Reports Journal in 2025. It included 345 IT employees of Hyderabad. The report found that 34 percent of the employees had metabolic syndrome and 84 percent of the employees had fat in the liver. That is, this problem is very common in the IT sector.
The second study was conducted 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 the people had fatty liver, and this problem was more in men. Those who used to eat fast food in the week were found more in danger.
What is the government doing?
Nadda said that the government is providing primary health services through Ayushman Arogya Temple to prevent diseases like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and cancer. Along with this, the Ministry of Health is also running an awareness campaign from time to time.
FSSAI is also giving people information related to liver through social media. Activities related to Fit India Movement and Yoga are going on continuously from the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of AYUSH, so that people remain healthy.
Why is caution important?
Doctors say that if fatty liver is not stopped on time, it can cause liver failure, diabetes and heart diseases. Therefore, daily exercise, healthy diet and regular checkup are very important.
