Obesity and Liver Disease – A Rising Risk in Mumbai
Obesity is one of the leading causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), an increasingly common condition in Mumbai. As body fat increases, fat also begins to accumulate in the liver, leading to inflammation, fibrosis, and in severe cases, cirrhosis.
Mumbai’s urban lifestyle, characterized by limited physical activity, high-calorie diets, and stress, makes its population more vulnerable to obesity and related liver complications. Individuals with diabetes or high cholesterol are at even greater risk. Often, NAFLD has no visible symptoms, making regular liver screening vital.
Dr. Chetan Kalal, an expert hepatologist in Mumbai, emphasizes early diagnosis and sustainable weight management strategies. Simple changes like walking 30 minutes a day, reducing sugar intake, and eating more plant-based foods can make a significant difference in liver function.
