Effective roles of exercise and diet adherence in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by symptoms of excessive fat accumulation and steatosis in the liver without alcohol intake in patients. The associated pathogenic mechanism is not completely understood and there are no specific drugs for patients with NAFLD. Exercise and diet adherence are the best options for the management of NAFLD patients. Questionnaire associated analysis models of adherence to these interventions are used to assess their effectiveness in the management of NAFLD patients using specificity, sensitivity, and so on. Studies have indicated that the relative ratio of NAFLD can be reduced by physical activity with diet control. In the future, the pathogenesis of NAFLD should be clarified with stratified efforts to develop appropriate drugs, and both exercise and diet adherence should be optimized using better questionnaire design and evaluation models for patients with NAFLD.
