Background And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is responsible for a significant global health burden. Despite this burden, the prevalence and mortality of MASLD-related cirrhosis remain inadequately defined, hindering effective public health strategies. This study aimed to estimate the global prevalence and mortality associated with MASLD-related cirrhosis.

We investigated associations between food environment factors (food deserts and food swamps) and MASLD-related mortality across the United States.
Methods: MASLD-related deaths were obtained from the National Vital Statistics System (2016-2020) and food environment factors from Food Environment Atlas.
Article Synopsis
- * It finds that higher MASLD prevalence correlates with rising obesity, type 2 diabetes rates, and low physical activity, with notable variances based on a country’s socio-demographic index (SDI).
- * The results suggest that public health strategies must be tailored to address the unique socio-economic conditions in different regions to effectively tackle MASLD and its related health risks.
