Sex‐Specific Impact of Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Fatty Liver Disease on Incident Cardiovascular Diseases and Mortality
This study found that MAFLD is more common in men at a younger age. Despite the higher prevalence in men, women with MAFLD face a greater risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Findings highlight the importance of gender-specific considerations in primary prevention programmes for MAFLD-related cardiovascular disease and mortality.
