Obesity
Obesity [4] is well linked to an increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Apart from obesity causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the condition is well-associated with severe heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
The common cause of obesity is consuming calories that can’t be burnt in daily activities on a long-term basis. Obesity could be due to genetics, growing older, lack of adequate sleep, and pregnancy. Usually, individuals can know whether they are obese by using a rough BMI calculation.
Apart from BMI, other ways to measure body fat include skinfold thickness test, screening tests like CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRI scans. The doctor may also order specific tests to diagnose some obesity-related risks.
