Different measures of sodium intake and the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Evidence from the UK Biobank
The habit of always adding salt to food, a 24-h urinary sodium excretion above 1.93 g/day, and energy-adjusted dietary sodium intake above 1.49g/d increased the risk of MASLD, partly mediated through inflammation, insulin resistance, and renal dysfunction. It is recommended that public health strategies target reducing MASLD risk based on these findings.
