Article Synopsis
- The study explores the prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) using the new multisociety consensus nomenclature, identifying its different subtypes such as MASLD and MetALD among 6,530 health check-up participants in Japan.
- Results indicate a 39.5% overall prevalence of SLD, with most cases classified as MASLD, and a small portion showing significant fibrosis as determined by liver stiffness measurement.
- Although the FIB-4 index is convenient for assessing liver fibrosis, its diagnostic performance as a primary screening tool is limited, particularly in the general population, suggesting the need for more effective screening methods.
