Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Hepatic steatosis assessed using ultrasonography (USG) through standardized grading of liver echogenicity. 2. Hepatic function evaluated using serum liver enzyme levels (ALT and AST) obtained through laboratory blood tests.Timepoint: 1. Hepatic steatosis assessed using ultrasonography (USG) through standardized grading of liver echogenicity at baseline and end of 8 weeks. 2. Hepatic function evaluated using serum liver enzyme levels (ALT and AST) obtained through laboratory blood tests at baseline and end of 8 weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Central adiposity assessed using the waist hip ratio (WHR) measured with a non-elastic measuring tape. 2. Quality of life assessed using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire.Timepoint: 1. Central adiposity (waist hip ratio) will be assessed pre-intervention & post-intervention, at baseline & end of 8 weeks. 2. Quality of life (SF-36) will be assessed pre-intervention & post-intervention, at baseline & end of 8 weeks.
