  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study aims to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Hispanic children. NAFLD happens when extra fat builds up in the liver, not caused by alcohol use. It can lead to serious health issues like diabetes or heart disease. The study will test if a diet low in sugars can help prevent NAFLD. This clinical trial will last 2 years and will involve children aged 6-9 years in the Atlanta area. The study includes nutrition advice, grocery shopping support, and monitoring of the children's health. The main goal is to see if reducing sugar intake lowers liver fat and prevents NAFLD.

  • This trial lasts for 2 years and involves regular check-ups and support.
  • Participants will receive guidance and support for a low-sugar diet.
  • Both the intervention and control groups will receive compensation.
