CWC WangShanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine YSYilong SongShanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine JWJingjing WuShanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Key Points

To evaluate the impact of internet-based lifestyle interventions on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Analyzed the effects on BMI and liver enzyme levels in NAFLD patients.
Examined the influence of intervention duration on weight loss.
Internet-based interventions improved BMI in NAFLD patients significantly.
Liver enzyme levels were notably reduced after the interventions.
Prolonged interventions (> 3 months) resulted in greater weight loss.

Abstract

Internet-based interventions significantly improve BMI and liver enzymes in NAFLD patients, with prolonged interventions (> 3 months) enhancing weight loss. Digital platforms show promise for enhancing self-management, though standardized long-term trials are needed to optimize efficacy.
