Puntos clave

The aim is to investigate the association between steatotic liver diseases and the risk of type 2 diabetes, considering socioeconomic factors.
Analyzed data from the EPIC InterAct cohort, a large prospective study.
Compared incidences of type 2 diabetes among individuals with various steatotic liver diseases.
Assessed the impact of socioeconomic position on these associations.
Findings suggest a significant association between steatotic liver diseases and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Individuals with lower socioeconomic position showed a higher incidence of diabetes in the context of liver diseases.

Resumen

Steatotic liver diseases (SLD) have hepatic and extra-hepatic consequences. SLD includes three major chronic liver diseases: Metabolic dysfunction–associated SLD (MASLD), Metabolic dysfunction–associated alcohol-related liver disease (MetALD), and Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). An association between SLD with risk of T2D, a major cancer risk factor, has been shown in some studies, but there is a paucity of data from large, prospective cohort studies. Moreover, potential syndemic interactions with socioeconomic position (SEP) have not been well studied.
