“Overall, this study should encourage clinicians — hepatologists [liver doctors] and primary care physicians alike — to incorporate weight loss programs into their treatment of NAFLD,” the commentators wrote, adding that large-scale support for weight loss maintenance will be key in “trying to curb the impending epidemic of advanced liver disease due to NAFLD.”
