Resume

Cholelithiasis affects approximately 10-15% of the global population, with an increasing incidence in developed countries where fast food consumption is on the rise. Recent studies show that diets high in saturated fats and refined sugars—typical of fast food—are significant risk factors for gallstone formation. For example, a 2022 study reported a 20% increase in the occurrence of gallstones in individuals who consumed fast food more than three times a week compared to those following healthier diets. Another study conducted in Saudi Arabia in 2020 found that 35% of women with cholelithiasis had a history of frequent fast-food consumption, highlighting a gender difference, as women are twice as likely as men to develop gallstones. Fast-food-based diets contribute to gallstone formation by increasing bile saturation with cholesterol, leading to the formation of cholesterol crystals. Additionally, the low fiber content in such foods impairs gallbladder motility, further raising the risk of stone formation. Globally, gallstone disease leads to approximately 1.5 million cholecystectomies annually, which incurs significant healthcare costs. Preventive strategies focus on reducing the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, while promoting fiber-rich diets and regular physical activity. Both public health organizations and individual dietary choices play an essential role in reducing complications related to gallstones.

Key words: cholelithiasis, gallstones, fast food consumption, saturated fats, dietary fiber, obesity, cholesterol supersaturation
