Combined effect of MASLD and low muscle strength on the risk of osteoporotic fractures: A UK Biobank cohort study

Key Points

• The study aims to explore how the combined presence of MASLD and low muscle strength affects fracture risk.
• Analyzed data from the UK Biobank cohort
• Assessed individuals with MASLD and low muscle strength
• Evaluated the risk of osteoporotic fractures
• Fracture risk is significantly higher in individuals with both MASLD and low muscle strength
• Isolated MASLD did not increase fracture risk
• Highlighting the need for muscle health assessment in clinical evaluations
