Anthropometric Measures and Mortality Risk in Individuals With Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (<scp>MASLD</scp>): A Population‐Based Cohort Study
WC and WC-related indices are better parameters in prognosticating MASLD than BMI. The BMI-related 'obesity paradox' may be a misnomer resulting from the use of an incorrect metric. WC should be measured more routinely among individuals with MASLD.
