Obesity during pregnancy doubles risk of fatty liver in teens
The team performed liver ultrasound on more than 1,100 adolescents aged 17 years and were followed even before their birth. NAFLD is the most common liver disorder in developed countries, affecting up to one in four adults. Here's another reason for adapting a healthy lifestyle before and during pregnancy, as a study has warned that newborns, who had obese mothers at the start of pregnancy, were twice as likely to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as adolescents.
