Summary

Lifestyle changes aiming at weight loss remain the cornerstone of MAFLD treatment.Evaluating the motivational stage of patients' change and providing targeted lifestyle guidance may significantly improve the efficiency of weight loss. The investigators hypothesize that gut microbiota may affect motivation to lose weight, and the changes in gut microbiota due to weight loss may positively feedback the behavior of motivation, forming a virtuous circle. Thus, this study aims at ①evaluating the relationships between motivational stage of weight loss and the gut microbiota (Gut-brain axis); ②investigating the effects of lifestyle interventions on the gut microbiota in MAFLD patients.
