The influence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) on gallbladder polyp development in both sexes remains elusive. Therefore, to clarify the role of MASLD in gallbladder polyp development, we investigated the longitudinal association between MASLD and gallbladder polyps. In this observational study, we included 5,527 gallbladder polyp-free patients who underwent > 2 health check-ups over > 2 years.

- The study examined how alcohol consumption affects the development and remission of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in a cohort of 6,349 patients over more than two years.
- Findings showed that while moderate alcohol intake didn't significantly influence MAFLD development, high levels of consumption did increase risks, particularly in men and women.
- The research concluded that reducing or stopping alcohol intake is important to prevent liver fibrosis, even for those who have achieved remission from MAFLD.
