In recent years, liver clinics in India have reported a significant increase in cases of fatty liver disease, now referred to as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), among young adults, particularly those under 35 and non-drinkers. The global prevalence of this condition has surged from approximately 25% in the early 2000s to nearly 38% today. In India, urban youth, especially those with sedentary jobs, are particularly affected. Key factors driving this trend include lifestyle changes, characterized by prolonged sitting and minimal physical activity, and a nutrition transition towards diets high in refined carbohydrates and sugars, which promote insulin resistance. Additionally, the early onset of metabolic syndrome, including rising obesity rates and type 2 diabetes, is being observed in younger populations. Sleep disturbances and chronic stress are also contributing factors that worsen the condition. Fatty liver often remains asymptomatic until diagnosed during routine check-ups, but its early onset can lead to severe long-term health issues, including cirrhosis and cardiovascular disease. To combat this growing health concern, experts advocate for proactive prevention strategies, emphasizing the importance of physical activity, healthy eating, adequate sleep, and early screening for at-risk individuals.
