Association of MAFLD With Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Cardiovascular Disease: A 4.6-Year Cohort Study in China

Abstract

The change from NAFLD to MAFLD did not greatly affect the associations with diabetes, CKD, and CVD. MAFLD further identified those patients of metabolically fatty liver combined with excessive alcohol consumption and HBV infection, who had increased risks of incident diabetes compared with those of non-fatty liver.
