Long, irregular menstrual cycles put women at higher risk for fatty liver disease

But, a new study recently found that these women might also be at risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The study was published in the journal, 'Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism'. Around 24 per cent of US adults have NAFLD, a chronic disease in which excess fat builds up in your liver. This buildup of fat is not caused by heavy alcohol use. NAFLD can progress to chronic liver damage and is associated with a higher risk of death. Diet and exercise are the standard of care for NAFLD as no medicines have been approved to treat the disease.Body fat biggest risk factor for reduced thinking, memory ability – research

This suggested other not yet confirmed pathways that linked excess body fat to reduced cognitive function. The study was published in the journal, 'JAMA Network open'.Women are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s Disease – Study
