About this trial

Prevention of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) through lifestyle intervention (MAUCO+) is a clinical trial that aims to improve sarcopenia, aerobic capacity, body composition, and lipid profile, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, NAFLD, and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Through the implementation of physical activity and nutritional programs.
