Cardiorespiratory fitness can reduce risk of fatty liver

[Northerner]

According to a new Finnish study, cardiorespiratory fitness is inversely related to risk of fatty liver. The research was conducted at the University of Turku, Finland, and shows that, despite the person's weight, achieving moderate cardiorespiratory fitness can protect from fatty liver.

In the national Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study, researchers measured the cardiorespiratory fitness of 463 Finns with a cycle ergometer exercise test and determined fatty liver with an ultrasound. The participants were 30-47 years of age.

Well that's good. Confirmation of what one might think was bound to be true, but is nice to have it confirmed. Buy a bike.🙂

They keep coming out with these studies all saying similar things, i.e. exercise is beneficial - no sh*t sherlock. The problem is getting the majority of the population (i.e. those who are able to) off their arses and doing something about it.
