Objective Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a prevalent chronic liver disease for which lifestyle intervention remains the first-line treatment. However, reliable biomarkers that reflect treatment responsiveness are limited. MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) is a liver-specific microRNA involved in hepatic lipid metabolism and injury. However, its clinical significance during lifestyle intervention has not yet been fully elucidated.
