Teens: Lighten Up to Protect Your Liver

Healthnotes Newswire—A new study published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition has found that some children at risk for metabolic syndrome are also at risk for liver disease.

People with three or more of these risk factors are considered to have a condition known as metabolic syndrome:

• High blood pressure
• High triglycerides
• Low HDL ("good") cholesterol
• Abdominal obesity
• High fasting blood glucose

In addition to being at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, adults with metabolic syndrome often develop a type of liver disease, which may lead to irreversible liver damage.

Up to 75% of obese adults have fatty liver disease, a kind that is distinct from alcohol-related liver damage.   > more
