Abstract

"Features of the Course of NAFLD Among Young People" investigates the distinct characteristics and implications of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the younger demographic. The research explores prevalence, risk factors, clinical presentation, and long-term consequences of NAFLD in young individuals. Additionally, it addresses diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, psychosocial aspects, and preventive measures specific to this age group.
