December 27th, 2022NASH kNOWledge, a non-profit corporation established to provide education and increase public awareness of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), recently launched a Spanish-language website to address the need for information about this silent “pandemic” in the United States.
The site, higadograso.org was specially designed for the Hispanic/Latino communities that, due to the lack of resources directed to this population, are at high risk of contracting both conditions.

“We think our website is a first step in making much-needed information available to an at-risk, under prioritized population that is a priority for us”, said Gina Madison, Executive Director of NASH kNOWledge

NASH kNOWledge looks forward to working with others who share our goal of providing education and raising awareness among the Hispanic/Latino population about this silent epidemic.
According to data provided by NASH kNOWledge, close to 100 million Americans, including a growing number of children, have NAFLD.
“Studies have shown that about half of Hispanics/Latinos are affected by NAFLD, with those of Mexican descent most at risk,” it is highlighted.
One of the biggest challenges posed by this physical condition is that the majority of those who suffer from it do not know it due to the lack of symptoms and little public awareness.
