Global Fatty Liver Day Through the Years
 
Liver Education Advocates has been participating in Global Fatty Liver Day since 2019 when it was International NASH Day.
 
2025: Hosted two awareness events. One was in Atlanta/Duluth with a panel of expert speakers talking about various aspects of fatty liver disease, including the medical side of the disease and metabolic syndrome, the importance of nutrition and the impact on mental health. And the other was in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate in New York City to raise more awareness within the Hispanic community.
 
2024: We hosted five awareness events in three days within the Pittsburgh area – four were at hospitals and one was in the middle of downtown Pittsburgh. The goal was to raise more awareness of fatty liver disease. 
 
2023: We introduced our prioritized focus on the Hispanic/Latino community to community leaders in the Pittsburgh area by hosting an event at the Roberto Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh with an expert panel of medical and public health professionals all of Hispanic background to talk about the prevalence of the disease in this community and why we have made it such a priority for our organization, while introducing our Spanish language website and materials. 
 
2022: Executive Director Gina Madison appeared live on KDKA-TV’s Pittsburgh Today Live, for a special International NASH Day segment titled “Eat This, Not That.”

Fatty Liver Disease Global Awareness

About Global Fatty Liver Day

Global Fatty Liver Day, formerly known as International NASH Day, is a public education campaign that was inaugurated in June 2018 to enhance awareness and emphasize the pressing nature of fatty liver disease, particularly its advanced stages, which impacts a staggering 115 million individuals worldwide.

Fatty liver disease, and its more advanced form, remains a concealed global epidemic. An estimated 357 million people will be affected by 2030. Because symptoms of fatty liver disease are often not overt, it is often underdiagnosed and underreported. Fatty liver disease is considered a major risk factor for concurrent conditions: more than 70% of patients are living with obesity, up to 75% have type 2 diabetes, and anywhere from 20-80% have hyperlipidemia. Unchecked, fatty liver disease may lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver transplant.
