Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted to determine the efficacy of a diet and exercise hospitalization program for fatty liver. During six days, a diet of 25 to 30 kcal/kg multiplied by ideal body weight (BW) was followed by aerobic and resistance exercise (exercise intensity of 4 to 5 METs daily). The changes in liver function (AST, ALT, and γGTP), glycolipid metabolism (HbA1c and triglyceride), ferritin, and BW were assessed based on whether or not the patient was hospitalized (86 cases) (17 cases). Except for BW, the parameters improved significantly at 6 months after hospitalization when compared to baseline. However, these did not improve in no hospitalization. At 6 months after hospitalization, a diet and exercise program improved liver function and glycolipid metabolism.
