In 2023, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) was introduced following fatty (MAFLD). Both aim to address the limitations of nonalcoholic (NAFLD). This review analyzes similarities and differences between MAFLD MASLD, focusing on their impacts epidemiology, diagnosis, stigma, related diseases. Current evidence suggests that criteria effectively identify individuals at higher risk through a good balance sensitivity specificity. Moreover, is more generalizable term easily understood globally. The transition from NAFLD MASLD marks significant advance in understanding within hepatology. identifies homogeneous cohort patients with due dysfunction provides valuable framework for holistic, patient-centered management strategies consider various contributing factors improve health outcomes.

Background and Aims: A new term, metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), has been proposed by a multi-society expert panel. However, it remains unclear whether hepatic steatosis per se in MASLD contributes to an increased risk of mortality individuals with any cardio-metabolic factor (CMRF), which is also significant for mortality. This study aimed compare all-cause cause-specific between the “MASLD/MetALD” “no (SLD)” groups CMRF. Approach Results: population-based cohort was conducted using 10,750 participants Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. All-cause (cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, liver) risks were compared “MASLD,” “MetALD,” SLD” Cox proportional hazards model complex survey design weights, adjusted confounders. Over 26 years, “MASLD” group did not show significantly (adjusted HR 1.04[95% CI: 0.95–1.14], p = 0.413), cardiovascular (0.88 [0.75–1.04], 0.139), or cancer (1.06[0.84–1.33], 0.635) The MetALD associated (1.41 [1.05–1.89], 0.022), (2.35 [1.33–4.16], 0.004), (15.04 [2.96–76.35], 0.002) no SLD group. trend more pronounced advanced fibrosis assessed Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4). Conclusions: In CMRF, presence (MASLD) alone increase mortality, except cases alcohol consumption (MetALD). Therefore controlling factors reducing people will be crucial steps improve long-term health outcomes.

Background Metabolic disorders and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have captured the globe during Westernisation of lifestyle related dietary habits over last decades. Both disease entities are characterised by complex heterogeneous clinical spectra linked to distinct symptoms organ systems which, on a first glimpse, do not many commonalities in practice. However, experimental studies indicate common backbone mechanisms metabolic gut inflammation, emerging evidence suggests an intricate interplay between IBD. Objective We depict parallels IBD diseases, easily overlooked routine.

Abstract Background Recent observational studies examining the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and risk of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) have reported conflicting results. We performed a meta‐analysis to quantify magnitude H. MASLD. Methods systematically searched three large electronic databases identify eligible (published up 30 November 2023) in which biopsy, imaging methods or blood‐based biomarkers/scores were used for diagnosing Data from selected extracted, was using common random‐effects modelling.

The weight-adjusted waist (WWI) a novel metric and accurately reflects body composition. We explored association of WWI with all-cause cardiovascular (CVD) mortality in MASLD. Methods Adult participants MASLD were included from NHANES 1999-2018. was calculated by dividing circumference (WC) square root weight. diagnosed presence hepatic steatosis at least one cardiometabolic risk factor absence other causes steatosis.

Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses explore these associations multiple adjustment models constructed including crude, partial, fully adjusted models. Results After adjusting for all covariates BMI, remained positively linearly associated CVD (hazard ratios [HR] 1.247 1.218, respectively). Higher significantly increased (both p trend <0.05). There an “obesity paradox” between BMI MASLD, lower those overweight/obesity compared normal (HR 0.625 0.596, respectively, = 0.024), no mortality.

Finally, we triangulated perspectives hybrid deductive/inductive thematic analysis. Results Four themes hindering emerged: (1) limited knowledge awareness; (2) unclear referral pathways patients affected by conditions; (3) uncertainty over value monitoring managing diseases; (4) justifying system‐level reimbursement. Through these themes, perceived stigma associated with diseases, primary physicians generally lacked awareness, adequate skills recommended NITs. identified uncertainties results NITs, specifically guide lifestyle intervention or that should be referred specialist.
