| Abstract |
The world's population is increasingly overweight and obese. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) as of 2010, 43 million children under the age of five were overweight. Once considered to be limited to developed countries, overweight and obese children are now found in low- and middle-income countries, though most commonly in urban areas. Furthermore the WHO now cites the conditions of overweight and obesity as being associated with more deaths around the globe than those associated with being underweight. With this increased prevalence of overweight and obese children has come a host of other medical problems including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This review will focus on NAFLD and NASH, their definitions, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. The authors will also discuss NAFLD in the Indian subcontinent, and the future of NAFLD and NASH. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 June 2012.
All research outputs
#20,195,024
of 22,712,476 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#1,249
of 1,518 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#148,156
of 164,351 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#22
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,712,476 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,518 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 164,351 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
