#MAFLD vs #MASLD and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma❓‼️
New study, 36,204 Korean participants
📌 MAFLD, but not NALFD and MASLD was found to be an independent risk factor for HCC.

Chinese is used as a native language by about one-fifth of the world's total population. (> 1.2 billion).
✅ 🆕 position statement by > 400 Chinese-speaking experts endorse both the term #fatty liver and its definition which have a minimal stigma impact in Chinese.
#MAFLD.
🚨Sarcopenia is a condition that refers to the loss of muscle mass and strength, which is more common in #MAFLD.
➡️ Role of concurrent "endurance and resistance" training to protect skeletal muscle mitochondrial function as an anti-sarcopenic intervention.
You don’t have to be overweight to be at risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease or #MAFLD (formerly known as #NAFLD).
A balanced diet and regular exercise can significantly improve your liver health.

Your metabolic health all about healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins, minerals and fibre that can help protect you against #MAFLD.
Aim to have at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables today. Your liver will appreciate it 🙏.
🚨🚨Do you think MAFLD is uncommon in Africa?🤔
🆕 meta-analysis‼️
📌The prevalence of #MAFLD in persons with T2D was 48%, with some regional variation
📌44.7% in sub-Saharan Africa.
📌55.3% in Northern Africa.

🚨🚨MAFLD vs. MASLD?
🆕 study in @AnnalsofHepatol
📌 Patients with MAFLD only had 4.73-fold greater risk of CKD than those with MASLD-only.
✅ For improved prognostic value, use #MAFLD!
🔔 #MAFLD is not a benign disease‼️
🆕 study:
➡️The outcome and survival rate of MAFLD-related HCC patients are comparable to those of HCV-related HCC patients.
🚨New study by Prof. @Alboraie et al found that the words "fatty" and "steatotic" have the same translation in 17 non-Latin languages spoken by over 5 billion people worldwide.
➡️ This weakens the rationale for changing the name to MASLD from a global perspective, at least if stigma is the concern‼️
🚨🚨MAFLD vs. MASLD and all- cause and cause-specific mortality?🤔
🆕 study, 7811 participants; F/U: 27.1 Y.
➡️ Compared to #MASLD, the definition of #MAFLD demonstrated statistically significantly
📌 Higher overall mortality.
📌 Higher cardiovascular mortality.
✅ For improved prognostic value, use MAFLD‼️
Deeply saddened by the loss of Stephen Harrison, one of the most influential leaders in hepatology. His legacy remains with us for ever. We offer our deepest condolences to his family for their loss.
Please do not forget everything that makes your liver looks like this that you have the power to change:
1. Alcohol
2. Hepatitis C virus
3. Hepatitis B virus
4. Metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease.
