The prevalence and socioeconomic impact of Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasing. Despite the recent Food Drug Administration (FDA) approval Resmetirom as first drug for patients with steatohepatitis (MASH) significant fibrosis, several ongoing clinical trials, lifestyle changes aimed at achieving sustained weight loss remain a cornerstone in management these patients. In addition to regular structured physical activity, diet crucial. Several studies have demonstrated benefits Mediterranean this regard, there also emerging evidence on vegetarian its different patterns. This review aims summarize currently available potential MASLD, well exploring limitations.
