Starting Age for Screening Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease in Children Using Controlled Attenuation Parameter on Transient Elastography
Screening for hepatic steatosis associated with obesity should begin as early as school grade 1, while screening for children with overweight may be more appropriate by school grade 6. These findings emphasise the need for age- and weight-specific screening strategies for children with overweight and obesity.
