Role of physical activity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in terms of visceral obesity and insulin resistance

Background & Aims Limited evidence supports a role for physical activity ( PA ) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) independent of visceral obesity or/and insulin resistance. We investigated the association between PA and NAFLD while considering visceral adipose tissue ( VAT ) and insulin resistance in a large general population. Methods Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was diagnosed based on typical ultrasonographic findings. A...
