Editorial highlights joint effects of diabetes and alcohol on liver disease outcomes, suggesting integrated care.

The aim is to understand how diabetes and alcohol use co-exist and interact to influence liver disease outcomes.
Examined large prospective cohorts to evaluate joint effects of type 2 diabetes and alcohol on steatotic liver disease.
Identified steatosis using the Fatty Liver Index; fibrosis risk assessed with FIB-4.
Co-exposure to type 2 diabetes and alcohol consumption significantly increased liver-related mortality.
Poor glycaemic control correlated with higher mortality risks across all steatotic liver disease categories.
Findings suggest a need for integrated risk assessments in clinical practice for liver disease.

Johansen et al. (2026) studied this question.
