Abstract
This project showed nutritional education as an effective strategy to improve primary alterations in liver function associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese children who had NAFLD in Mexico. Researchers evaluated the effect of a 4-month nutritional counseling program on hepatic abnormalities associated with NAFLD in 46 participants. They attended nutrition counseling sessions with their parents or guardians every 15 days during the intervention. Body mass index (BMI) decreased in 93.5% of children, and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels decreased in 87%. Simultaneously, BMI, ALT, and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) decreased in 38 of 46 participants (82.6%).
