Article Synopsis
- Metabolic associated liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent liver disease globally, particularly among individuals with metabolic syndrome, and first-line treatments focus on lifestyle changes.* -
- A study involving 85 patients with metabolic syndrome assessed the impact of a 3-week exercise program on the Fatty Liver Index (FLI), revealing that all exercise modalities significantly improved FLI and had lasting effects.* -
- The findings indicate that even short-duration exercise programs can enhance liver health and overall metabolic outcomes in MASLD patients, highlighting the importance of increased physical activity.*
The relationship between inflammatory markers and bone turnover in adults is well known, and a negative association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and inflammatory markers has also been described. Hence, we tested whether the association between CRF and bone turnover markers is mediated by inflammatory markers in adults with metabolic syndrome. A total of 81 adults (58.

We sought to investigate whether this new organization's shortened length of stay (LOS) was associated or not with a higher rate of readmission.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study based on the daily activity of the UTAG over 6 months including all patients consecutively hospitalized in the unit via the computerized medical file of the hospital.
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate: 1) the presence of liver steatosis using Fatty Liver Index (FLI), Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI) and Liver Fat Score (LFS) in patients suffering from metabolic syndrome (MS); and 2) the association of FLI, HSI and LFS with the cardiometabolic risks.
Methods: A total of 91 patients with MS (39 men, 52 women) and 44-age matched healthy subjects (control; 23 men and 21 women) were enrolled in the study. A continuous cardiometabolic score (MetsScore) and the noninvasive tests of hepatic steatosis were calculated for comparison and association analysis.
Objective: The term 'culinary dependence' denotes a situation in which someone delegates all or part of their daily meal-related activities to a third party. The present study aimed to explore nutritional risk among older people (≥65 years) with culinary dependence.
Method: The first survey included 559 people either living at home without help, with help unrelated to food activities, with help related to food activities or living in nursing home.
