Prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its association with arterial stiffness in adolescents: Results from the EVA4YOU study
In our adolescent cohort, liver fat content and MASLD were not found to be independent predictors for early vascular ageing. Nevertheless, the determination of liver fat content can be a useful tool to identify adolescents at high risk for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
