Fatty liver disease is now one of the most common chronic liver conditions in the United States, affecting millions of adults. Often referred to as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), it is closely linked to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and other metabolic health conditions.

In this Health & Wellness Seminar, Michael J. Gilbert, MD, MHCDS, of Monadnock Community Hospital explains how fatty liver disease develops, who is at risk, how it is diagnosed, and what individuals can do to reduce their risk of progression.

The seminar also features Robert Catania, MD, of Southern New Hampshire Health, who discusses obesity as a chronic disease and reviews evidence-based weight management options, including lifestyle changes, medications, and bariatric surgery.

Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver. While many people experience no symptoms in the early stages, the condition can progress over time and may lead to inflammation, scarring, cirrhosis, or liver failure.

Because fatty liver disease is closely connected to metabolic health, addressing risk factors early can significantly improve long-term outcomes.
