Characterizing Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in Lean Individuals at a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Fat accumulation in the liver is affecting 38% of the global population. It can also occur in normal-weight individuals, termed lean non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study examines Asian and Western body mass index (BMI) criteria, as well as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) diagnostic guidelines, in lean fatty liver cases within a healthcare setting.

Prevalence of Osteosarcopenia and Frailty in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease.

Malnutrition increases the incidence and severity of decompensation, increases the risk of infections, and increases mortality.
