NAFLD is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality of liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases, which leads to a significant healthcare burden and a decrease in quality of life in a patient. According to international guidelines, lifestyle modification for weight loss remains the first-line intervention in patients with NAFLD. The article summarizes evidence-based recommendations for lifestyle changes and clinical management of patients with NAFLD.</p>hepatologytherapynon-alcoholic fatty liver diseaseliver cirrhosisdiabetes mellitusobesitybody mass indexcardiovascular diseaseslifestyle modificationweight lossdietphysical activity/exercisesгепатологиятерапиянеалкогольная жировая болезнь печеницирроз печенисахарный диабетожирениеиндекс массы теласердечно-сосудистые заболеванияизменение образа жизнипохудениедиетафизическая активность/упражнения[EASL-EASD-EASO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
