Personal income perception and the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

This research confirms the association between the development of MASLD and income satisfaction, supporting the notion that this condition is linked to the social context of those affected. The analysis also highlighted dietary behaviors related to income and personal perception. Less satisfied individuals exhibited a higher kcal intake and lower rMED scores, indicating a greater consumption of low-quality energy-dense foods. Furthermore, this research emphasizes the widening wage disparity among social classes, which could threaten to the public health.
