Abstract
NAFLD prevalence among obese children is quite high, especially pubertal adolescents than prepubertal children. We demonstrated an association between insulin resistance and NAFLD ultrasound scoring in pubertal obese children. We suggested that ultrasound examination of the liver be included in the routine check-up of the pubertal obese children with insulin resistance to allow the detection of NAFLD at an early stage.
