A cross-sectional study of risk factors associated with sarcopenia in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Sarcopenia was prevalent in the study population and was linked to modifiable risk factors that can be managed to reduce its progression. Future research using different study designs, such as longitudinal design, is recommended to identify the determinants of sarcopenia. Intervention studies are also required to improve the nutritional and functional status of MASLD patients.
