Multimorbidity is characterized by the presence of at least 3 chronic diseases with a prevalence of more than 50% of patients over 60 years old. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) enables a description of the severity of the multimorbidity and also provides a correlation with the postoperative outcome after liver resection. According to this, multimorbid patients are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality after liver resection, mostly due to postoperative liver failure.

Obesity is a global health issue that is intricately linked to the development and progression of chronic liver disease (CLD). This bidirectional connection, coupled with the obesity paradox (OP), presents a management dilemma. The established influence of obesity on the development and progression of chronic liver disease (CLD) is surpassed by the liver's impact on the onset and advancement of obesity.
