Abstract

A recent study reports that being overweight in late adolescence is associated with an increased risk of liver-related morbidity and mortality later in life. These findings give further strength to the concerns for the deleterious effects of childhood obesity on liver health. Early prevention by screening and lifestyle modification should be advised by health policies.
