'Junk food damaging kids' liver': Higher fatty liver disease in elite schools vs govt schools, says a study

Children studying in elite schools in Hyderabad are found to be at a higher risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), according to a study, affecting 50% to 60%. The study attributes the higher risk to the consumption of junk food, lack of exercise and the use of motorised transport to reach school. The incidence of NAFLD is reportedly lower in children from government schools.
