Implication

Evaluates the link between metabolic multimorbidity and liver fibrosis in people with hepatitis B, suggesting implications for liver health management.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate the relationship between metabolic multimorbidity and liver fibrosis among individuals with hepatitis B in Senegal.
  • Included hepatitis B surface antigen-positive adults who tested negative for HIV.
  • Defined metabolic multimorbidity as having at least two conditions like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia.
  • Used liver stiffness measurement to assess significant liver fibrosis.
  • Applied multivariable logistic regression to analyze data.
  • 16.1% of women and 6.6% of men had metabolic multimorbidity.
  • 8.2% with metabolic multimorbidity had significant liver fibrosis compared to 12.2% without.
  • No significant association was found between metabolic multimorbidity and liver fibrosis.
