Global, regional, and national time trends in prevalence of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease among women of reproductive age: an age-period-cohort analysis for the global Burden of Disease 2021 study
MASLD in the WRA is an increasing health problem in all countries, and is accompanied by worsening period and cohort risks. These population-level trends warrant further investigation of their clinical implications for maternal health outcomes. Future research should focus on establishing evidence-based screening strategies and evaluating the clinical utility of interventions targeting liver health in WRA.
