Middle-aged and young men aged 30 to 50 have become the "main force" of fatty liver.
In addition, some disease states, such as suffering from overnutrition, malnutrition, parenteral high nutrition, drug poisoning, diabetes , inflammation, pregnancy may also lead to fatty liver.
What are the dangers of fatty liver?
When excessive fat is accumulated in the liver, it will affect the supply of blood and nutrients in the liver and its own metabolism.

In addition, the occurrence of fatty liver is closely related to diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and . These diseases are all part of metabolic syndrome, and their joint effects will lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, , and strokes.
How to prevent and treat fatty liver?
