- Conditions
- Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT06536933
- Lead Sponsor
- Sohag University
- Brief Summary
* Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the latest term for steatotic liver disease associated with metabolic syndrome. MASLD is a common cause of chronic liver disease and is the leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality.
* The high prevalence of this disease has been fueled by the rapid rise in levels of sedentary behavior, low levels of physical activity, excess calorie intake relative to expenditure in nutritionally imbalanced and unhealthy diets. In parallel, the prevalence of poor metabolic health in adults from many countries is high, even in normal weight individuals.
* MASLD has been estimated to affect 30% of the adult population worldwide, with its prevalence increasing from 22% to 37% from 1991 to 2019 . The increasing prevalence of MASLD parallels the increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity-related diseases.
