Overview

Analysis reveals cardiovascular disease risk increases with metabolic risk factors in adults with MASLD, suggesting targeted prevention strategies may reduce risks.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how cardiovascular risk varies based on metabolic risk factors in US adults with MASLD.
  • Analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2017-March 2020) to identify adults with MASLD.
  • Defined MASLD with hepatic steatosis and at least one metabolic risk factor like obesity or type II diabetes.
  • Classified participants by number of metabolic risk factors (1-2, 3, 4+) and calculated 10-year cardiovascular risks using PREVENT Equations.
  • Used survey-weighted linear regression to assess associations between MASLD category and cardiovascular outcomes.
  • 186 participants were included, representing approximately 4.2 million US adults with MASLD.
  • Higher predicted risks for total CVD (+8%), ASCVD (+5%), and heart failure (+6%) were found in those with ≥4 risk factors.
  • Statistically significant increases in PREVENT scores were noted with more metabolic risk factors (p<0.05).
