BMI subclassification and future risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and liver-related events

Key Points

• The study aims to identify how different BMI subcategories relate to the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and liver-related events (LREs).
• Examined metabolically distinct BMI subgroups.
• Analyzed risk variations of MASLD and LREs among these subgroups.
• Used statistical models to assess outcomes.
• Metabolically distinct BMI groups showed varying risk levels for MASLD and LREs.
• Certain BMI subclasses were significantly associated with higher risk rates.
• The findings emphasize the need for tailored risk assessments based on BMI classification.
