Nine types of people are prone to fatty liver. The incidence rate in large and medium-sized cities is nearly 20%

"Due to the increasing intake of high-calorie, high-fat diets, coupled with high work pressure and less and less exercise, the incidence of fatty liver has increased significantly compared to five years ago." Professor Jia, chairman of the Hepatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and director of the Liver Disease Research Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said: The incidence rate in large and medium-sized cities is nearly 20%. Professor Jia further pointed out: "The total incidence of fatty liver in large and medium-sized cities in China is nearly 20%; the probability of fatty liver in obese people and diabetic patients is close to 50%; the incidence of alcoholics increases to 57%; and the incidence of fatty liver in sub-healthy people with insomnia, fatigue, and gastrointestinal dysfunction is the highest, soaring to 60%..." In addition, Jia Jidong believes that 9 types of people are prone to fatty liver.

Obese people

Due to the decomposition of fat in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese people, the free fatty acids in the blood increase, and a large amount of fatty acids are continuously transported to the liver. At the same time, some obese people have hyperinsulinemia, which can promote the liver's synthesis of fatty acids, causing a large amount of fatty acids to accumulate in the liver, resulting in fat deposition in the liver.

Alcoholics

Alcohol is metabolized in the liver, which can lead to disorders in the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids. Therefore, the more you drink, the easier it is for fatty acids to accumulate in the liver, and the more likely it is to cause alcoholic fatty liver.

Seniors

As people age, their metabolic function gradually declines, their exercise volume decreases, and the chance of fat deposition increases. At the same time, more middle-aged and elderly people suffer from endocrine diseases. For example, diabetes can cause metabolic disorders and eventually cause fat to accumulate in the liver.

Many young people often attend family gatherings or friends' banquets and consume too much high-fat food, which increases the burden on the liver, increases the liver's fat intake and synthesis, or reduces its transport and utilization, leading to fat accumulation in the liver.

Long-term lack of exercise will cause excess nutrients in the body to be converted into fat. When this fat is deposited under the skin, it manifests as obesity, and when it accumulates in the liver, it manifests as fatty liver.

The Hungry

For people who are often hungry, due to lower blood sugar, fatty acids in the liver tissue are mobilized into the blood, which increases the free fatty acids in the blood and can cause fat accumulation in the liver.

Malnourished people

Due to protein deficiency, the synthesis of very low-density lipoprotein is reduced, causing obstacles in the liver's transport of triglycerides and causing fat to accumulate in the liver.

Hepatitis

Due to excessive food intake, lack of exercise, and the fact that liver function has not yet fully recovered, it is very easy for fat to accumulate in the liver.
