Watafiti wamegundua uhusiano wa kuvutia kati ya ugonjwa wa ini ya mafuta na shida za utu. Wanasema watu walio na ugonjwa wa ini usio na ulevi wa mafuta (NAFLD) wanakabiliwa na hatari mara tatu ya shida za utu.<\/p>\n

Timu ya utafiti kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Birmingham pia ilifanya ugunduzi wa kuvutia kwamba watu walio na NAFLD, ambao wanahitaji kudumisha lishe bora na mazoezi ya mwili ili kudhibiti hali hiyo, mara kwa mara wanaonyesha tabia za ulaji zisizodhibitiwa. The matokeo yalichapishwa<\/a> katika BMC Gastroenterology.<\/p>\n

"Kupata ongezeko la kuenea kwa matatizo ya kibinadamu kwa wagonjwa wa NAFLD ni ya kushangaza hasa, ikimaanisha kwamba sio suala linalohusishwa na magonjwa yote ya ini, lakini ni wale walio na NAFLD," Dk. Jonathan Catling, mwandishi mwenza wa utafiti huo, alisema katika a. taarifa ya habari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NAFLD ni aina ya kawaida ya ugonjwa sugu wa ini<\/a>, husababishwa kutokana na mkusanyiko mkubwa wa mafuta katika seli za ini. Inahusishwa na sababu kama vile fetma, upinzani wa insulini na sukari ya juu ya damu.<\/p>\n

Wagonjwa mara nyingi hawaonyeshi dalili zozote za wazi, lakini watu wengine wanaweza kupata uchovu na usumbufu ndani ya tumbo. Wakati ugonjwa unaendelea, inaweza kusababisha uharibifu wa ini na cirrhosis, hasa kwa watu walio na hatari kubwa ya ugonjwa wa kisukari, mashambulizi ya moyo na viharusi.<\/p>\n

The matibabu<\/a> mkakati hasa unahusisha afua za mtindo wa maisha, ikijumuisha mazoezi na lishe. Walakini, wagonjwa mara nyingi hushindwa kufanya mabadiliko ya kitabia muhimu kwa matibabu. Utafiti wa hivi karibuni ulichunguza mambo yanayoathiri majibu ya wagonjwa kuelekea taratibu za matibabu.<\/p>\n

Watafiti walikusanya data kutoka kwa washiriki wa 96 ambao waligawanywa katika vikundi vitatu - wagonjwa wa NAFLD, wagonjwa wa magonjwa ya ini wasio NAFLD, na watu wenye afya. Tabia za kula na kufanya mazoezi zilitathminiwa kutoka kwa dodoso.<\/p>\n

Timu pia ilichunguza eneo la udhibiti wa washiriki - kiwango cha udhibiti wanachoamini kuwa wanacho juu ya maisha yao wenyewe. Wagonjwa walio na eneo la juu la udhibiti wa ndani wana uwezekano mkubwa wa kupunguza uzito na wale walio na eneo kubwa la udhibiti wana uwezekano mdogo wa kushikamana na lishe na mazoezi ya mwili.<\/p>\n

Kulingana na watafiti, wagonjwa walio na NAFLD, kama vile watu wanaohusika na shida za utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya, wameongeza eneo la udhibiti wa nje (LoC). Hii ina maana kwamba wana ugumu wa kufanya na kudumisha mabadiliko kwenye mlo wao na utaratibu wa mazoezi muhimu ili kudhibiti kuendelea kwa ugonjwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cMambo matatu yalibainika kuwa muhimu kwa makundi; kizuizi cha utambuzi, ulaji usiodhibitiwa na alama ya SAPAS (kipimo cha shida za utu). Uhusiano kati ya matatizo ya utu na NAFLD ulitambuliwa, "watafiti waliandika.<\/p>\n

"Muhimu, inaonekana si suala la afya ya akili kwa ujumla, kwani wala wasiwasi wala unyogovu haukupatikana kuwa tofauti sana kati ya makundi - licha ya matatizo yote ya akili mara nyingi yanahusishwa na ugonjwa wa ini wa muda mrefu," Dk Catling alisema.<\/p>\n

Watafiti wanatoa wito wa uchunguzi wa matatizo ya utu miongoni mwa wagonjwa wa NAFLD ili matatizo ya afya ya akili yaweze kutibiwa vyema kabla ya kuathiri lishe na mazoezi ya mgonjwa.<\/p>\n

"Matokeo yetu yanaonyesha haja ya haraka ya kuchunguza mitazamo kuhusu chakula na mazoezi ili tuweze kuelewa vizuri jinsi ya kuwahamasisha wagonjwa wa NAFLD na kutoa matibabu ya ufanisi zaidi - kuzuia kurudi kwa ugonjwa baada ya upandikizaji wa ini," Dk Catling aliongeza.<\/p>\n

They say people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) face a three times higher risk of personality disorders.The research team from the University of Birmingham also made a fascinating finding that people with NAFLD, who need to maintain a careful diet and exercise regime to manage the condition, frequently exhibit uncontrolled eating behaviors. The findings were published in BMC Gastroenterology."Finding an increased prevalence of personality disorders in NAFLD patients is particularly striking, signifying that it's not an issue associated with all liver disease, but just those with NAFLD," Dr. Jonathan Catling, a co-author of the study, said in a news release.NAFLD is the most common form of chronic liver disease, caused due to excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells. It is associated with factors such as obesity, insulin resistance and high blood sugar.Patients often do not show any obvious symptoms, but some people may experience fatigue and discomfort in the abdomen. When the disease progresses, it can cause liver damage and cirrhosis, especially in people with an increased risk of diabetes, heart attacks and strokes.The treatment strategy mainly involves lifestyle interventions, including exercise and diet. However, patients often fail to make the behavioral changes necessary for the treatment. The latest study examined the factors that influence patients' responses toward the treatment regimes.Researchers gathered data from 96 participants who were split into three groups \u2013 NAFLD patients, non-NAFLD liver disease patients, and healthy people. The eating and exercising behaviors were assessed from questionnaires.The team also examined participant's locus of control \u2013 the extent of control they believe they have on their own lives. Patients with a high internal locus of control are more likely to lose weight and those with a high external locus of control are less likely to stick to diet and exercise regime.According to the researchers, patients with NAFLD, much like individuals dealing with substance abuse disorders, have heightened external locus of control (LoC). This means they have difficulty making and maintaining changes to their diet and exercise routine essential for controlling disease progression."Three factors were found to be significant by group; cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating and SAPAS score (a measure of personality disorders). An association between personality disorders and NAFLD was identified," the researchers wrote."Importantly, it appears not to be a general mental health issue, as neither anxiety nor depression was found to be significantly different between the groups \u2013 despite both psychiatric disorders often being associated with chronic liver disease," Dr. Catling said.Researchers call for screenings for personality disorders among NAFLD patients so that mental health disorders can be treated well before they influence the patient's diet and exercise."Our findings suggest an urgent need to examine attitudes towards diet and exercise so that we can better understand how to motivate NAFLD patients and deliver more effective treatment - preventing disease recurrence after liver transplantation," Dr. Catling added.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/sw\/utafiti-wa-magonjwa-ya-ini-unasema-wagonjwa-wako-katika-hatari-ya-mara-3-ya-matatizo-ya-utu\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-10-05T08:14:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"dakika 2\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#\/schema\/person\/f286c4d84be896d302aceda3ed7e789c\"},\"headline\":\"Fatty Liver Disease: Study Says Patients Are At 3 Times Higher Risk Of Personality Disorders\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-10-05T08:14:28+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders\/\"},\"wordCount\":513,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Medical Daily\"],\"inLanguage\":\"sw\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fatty-liver-disease-study-says-patients-are-at-3-times-higher-risk-of-personality-disorders\/\",\"name\":\"Fatty Liver Disease: Study Says Patients Are At 3 Times Higher Risk Of Personality Disorders -
