A multisociety Delphi consensus statement on new fatty liver disease nomenclature

Mary E. Rinella et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if there was a need to change the nomenclature and definition of NAFLD and NASH. Through a Delphi process involving content experts and patient advocates, a consensus was reached to replace NAFLD with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MetALD) and modify the diagnostic criteria. The new nomenclature and criteria are widely supported, nonstigmatizing, and can improve awareness and patient identification.

Summary: This study found that insulin resistance is the strongest predictor of the severity of alcohol-related liver disease. Genetic susceptibility further aggravates this risk.

Risk of cardiovascular events in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Livnat Alon et al.

Summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI), ischaemic stroke (IS), atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure (HF). Age, sex, and study characteristics may moderate the strength of this association.

Distinct contributions of metabolic dysfunction and genetic risk factors in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Panu K. Luukkonen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that the mechanisms underlying the metabolic and genetic components of NAFLD are fundamentally different. The metabolic component is characterized by hepatic oversupply of substrates, while the genetic component is characterized by impaired hepatic mitochondrial function.

Association Between Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Varies According to Glucose Tolerance Status: A Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study

Tiange Wang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the interaction between insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in different glucose tolerance statuses. Using data from the China Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Cohort Study, the researchers found that glucose intolerance exacerbates the association between insulin resistance and CVD risk. Both insulin resistance and obesity in individuals with prediabetes were associated with higher risks of CVD, while insulin resistance remained a risk factor for CVD in individuals with diabetes, regardless of obesity status.

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD)-Rather a Bystander Than a Driver of Mortality

Georg Semmler et al.

Summary: The presence of MAFLD does not increase mortality in individuals aged 45 to 80 years. However, lean and overweight patients with MAFLD had worse prognosis compared to their non-MAFLD counterparts, driven primarily by age and metabolic comorbidities.

Summary: Lean patients with NAFLD have a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular risk. The novel criteria for metabolic associated fatty liver disease leave a considerable proportion of patients unclassified.

SCORE2 risk prediction algorithms: new models to estimate 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in Europe

Steven Hageman et al.

Summary: The study aimed to develop, validate, and demonstrate an updated prediction model (SCORE2) to estimate 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in individuals without previous history of CVD or diabetes in Europe. The new algorithm, SCORE2, enhances the identification of individuals at higher risk of developing CVD across Europe by predicting first-onset CVD risk in European populations.

Summary: In this population-based study, there was no independent association found between steatosis and fibrosis and cardiovascular disease. Further large prospective cohort studies are needed to provide more definitive evidence on this topic.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Alessandro Mantovani et al.

Summary: Studies have shown a significant association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. The risk of fatal or non-fatal CVD events is moderately increased with NAFLD, and this risk escalates with the severity of NAFLD, particularly with higher fibrosis stages. These findings suggest that NAFLD may be an independent risk factor for CVD morbidity and mortality.

Summary: In this single-center cohort study, the presence of MAFLD was not found to increase mortality among individuals aged 45 to 80. Factors such as body mass index (BMI) and metabolic comorbidities, particularly diabetes, were found to have a stronger impact on mortality rates.
