What is Global Fatty Liver Day?
Global Fatty Liver Day, first established in June 2018, is dedicated to raising awareness about fatty liver disease (also known as MASH) and its severe stages. Affecting over 115 million people worldwide and projected to impact 357 million by 2030, this often silent condition is underdiagnosed and underreported. Additionally, 1.2 billion people globally suffer from overall liver damage or fatty liver issues, and this number continues to rise.
What Does This Mean for Me?
Without intervention, fatty liver disease can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and potentially the need for a liver transplant. By raising awareness, we aim to promote early detection, encourage healthier lifestyles, and work towards reducing the global impact of this disease.
If you haven’t already, we strongly recommend booking a FibroScan. Assessing your liver health can help prevent fatty liver disease and guide lifestyle changes for long-term wellness. Take proactive steps to maintain your health by scheduling a scan today.
