About This NAFLD Study in Hershey

There is no known cure or regulatory agency approved drug therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the leading cause of liver disease worldwide, and its progressive type, NASH. This places increased importance on using exercise to treat NAFLD. While physical activity is recommended for all with NAFLD, how to best prescribe exercise as a specific treatment remains unknown, including what dose of exercise is most effective.
