Good physical health can keep liver disease at bay

The study has claimed that activities like walking and muscle strengthening were associated with significantly reduced risk of liver-related death. Chronic liver disease is increasing, partly due to the obesity epidemic, and currently there are no guidelines for the optimal type of exercise for the prevention of cirrhosis-related mortality.

The study published , hope the findings will help provide specific exercise recommendations for patients at risk for cirrhosis and its complications.

The benefit of exercise is not a new concept, but the impact of exercise on mortality from cirrhosis and from liver cancer has not yet been exlpored on this scale, said the lead researcher.

Our study shows that both walking and strength training contribute to substantial reductions in risk of cirrhosis-related death, which is significant because we know very little about modifiable risk factors, added the researcher.

The team prospectively followed 68,449 women and 48, 748 men, without known liver disease at baseline.

Participants provided highly accurate data on physical activity, including type and intensity, every 2 years from 1986- 2012, which allowed researchers to prospectively examine the association between physical activity and cirrhosis-related death.

Researchers observed that adults in the highest quintile of weekly activity had 73% lower risk for cirrhosis-related death than those in the lowest quintile. Further risk reduction was observed with combined walking and muscle-strengthening exercises.

In the U.S., mortality due to cirrhosis is increasing dramatically, with rates expected to triple by the year 2030. In the face of this alarming trend, information on modifiable risk factors that might prevent liver disease is needed, said the Dr.

This was the 1st prospective study in a large U.S. population to include detailed and updated measurements of physical activity over such a prolonged period, which allowed researchers to more precisely estimate the relationship between physical activity and liver-related outcomes.

The importance of physical activity can't be undermined and a new study has given more reasons to follow an active lifestyle.
