| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a phenotype of metabolic syndrome. Paralleling the increasing prevalence of obesity, NAFLD becomes to be common and potentially serious all over the world. Thus, we examined effects of comprehensive rehabilitation in NAFLD. Seven adults (age 41.4±16.7 years, male/female 3/4), who were diagnosed NAFLD and resistant to regular outpatient treatment, were admitted. They underwent exercise therapy with a bicycle ergometer and an underwater treadmill and mild diet therapy of 1,600-1,200 kcal. After a guidance of life style modification, they were discharged and followed at home for 6 months. After the comprehensive rehabilitation, the BMI, serum AST and ALT were significantly decreased. These clinical courses indicate that the comprehensive rehabilitation has beneficial effects in NAFLD with obesity.
