Breaking Down Barriers to Physical Activity in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

While nearly all subjects with NAFLD identify physical activity to be important and desire to be more active, only a few meet activity recommendations. This discordance is due to a perceived lack of resources and education, physical discomfort, and time constraints. Better understanding of these barriers and behaviors are important to improve morbidity and mortality in NAFLD. Future behavioral research removing the identified barriers is of great importance to global public health and should be prioritized.
