Fatty Liver Disease Surges in Germany as Lifestyle Habits Worsen

Fatty liver disease is becoming increasingly prevalent in Germany, with cases surging sharply over the past five years. New data from the Robert Koch Institute and the German Liver Foundation indicates that over 30% of adults now suffer from fatty liver, up from around 20-25% in 2021. Experts attribute this rise to growing rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

The condition, often caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, and metabolic disorders, can lead to serious long-term health issues. Professor Dr. Michael P. Manns emphasizes that fatty liver disease is closely tied to metabolic syndrome, which includes conditions like prediabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.

Treatment involves long-term lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. The German Liver Foundation recommends reducing sugar, saturated fats, and processed foods to ease the strain on the liver. A balanced Mediterranean diet, staying hydrated, and drinking alcohol in moderation also support liver function.

Regular physical activity plays a crucial role in prevention and management. Simple changes, such as walking more or taking the stairs instead of the lift, can make a difference. The foundation warns against unreliable nutrition advice and instead promotes evidence-based information.

For practical guidance, they suggest The Big Liver-Friendly Cookbook, which offers recipes and tips for a liver-healthy diet. Additional resources and facts about liver health are available on their website.

With fatty liver disease on the rise, the German Liver Foundation urges people to prioritize liver health in the new year. Small but consistent changes—like eating better, moving more, and avoiding excess alcohol—can help prevent complications. The foundation continues to provide trusted advice and tools to support long-term liver care.
