Abstract
This study examines the impact of lifestyle modification counselling on the weight status of non-alcoholic liver disease patients. To conduct the study 300 newly diagnosed male liver disease patients were selected as samples and randomly placed into experimental and control group. The study area of this study was the Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. The standard anthropometric test was used for the assessment of height and weight and BMI was calculated using a formula. Three months counselling program was prepared based on the Fantastic Lifestyle Assessment Checklist. Results reveal that in the pre-test assessment, 22.7% of male liver disease patients lie in the normal weight category whereas after three months of lifestyle counselling the percentage increased to 26.7%. In the pre-test assessment of male liver disease patients in the control group, 12.7% were normal weight and this percentage remained unchanged in the post-test assessment. It has been reported that even slight weight loss due to positive lifestyle changes improves the condition of non-alcoholic liver disease patients hence the results of this study have magnanimous importance towards the management of non-alcoholic liver disease patients.
