This study is comparing two different ways to help children and teenagers with fatty liver disease lose weight and improve their liver health. One approach involves staying at a residential treatment center for up to a year, while the other is an outpatient program where you visit a clinic regularly. Both programs focus on healthy eating, physical activity, and psychological support to help reverse liver damage.
Fatty liver disease has become the most common liver disease in children, mainly because of rising obesity rates. While we know that weight loss helps improve the liver, we don't have clear data showing whether one type of program works better than the other for actually reversing liver scarring in young people. This study aims to answer that question.

If you join the residential program, you would stay at a treatment center for up to one year while participating in daily activities focused on exercise, healthy eating, and counseling. If you join the ambulatory program, you would visit a clinic regularly while living at home and following a similar program with physical activity, dietary guidance, and psychological support. Throughout the study, your liver health will be monitored to see how well the program is working.
