Abstract

There has been a strong connection between fatty liver disease with obesity even in persons with very little or no intake of alcoholic beverages. The situation becomes more critical when a person is suffering from diabesity. It has been scientifically noted that weight reduction improves liver function but whether lifestyle modification counselling is one of the methods to obtain the desired results is debatable. This study primarily focuses on the management of fatty liver disease in non-alcoholic diabesity individuals with lifestyle counselling. The study selected 50 obese male adults suffering from type-2 diabetes with very little or no intake of alcoholic beverages. Out of these 50 subjects, 23 were found to be obese with type-2 diabetes and thereby selected for this experimental research. Standard techniques were used to get the data on the height and weight of the patient. A formula was employed for BMI assessment. A standard liver profile of the patients was created by routine pathological tests. A three-month program based on the Fantastic Lifestyle Assessment Checklist was meticulously planned for counselling. The anthropometric parameters, liver profile and lifestyle changes were assessed twice (pre-post). Results reveal a significant weight loss in male subjects with fatty liver disease and diabesity in the post-test assessment. It was also found that SGOT and SGPT values in the liver profile were also decreased and came within acceptable limits. It was concluded that lifestyle modification is a good method to manage weight in male patients suffering from diabesity and fatty liver disease and thereby reducing liver inflammation also.
