 This study compared the risk of developing diabetes according to different definitions of fatty liver disease, FLD. It found that people with metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease, MAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD, or both had higher risks of developing diabetes than those with neither condition. Additionally, the presence of excessive alcohol consumption, hepatitis B virus, HBV, or hepatitis C virus, HCV, infection, and metabolic dysfunction all increased the risk of developing diabetes. People with MAFLD alone had a greater increase in diabetes risk than those with NAFLD alone or no FLD. This article was authored by Sohee Park, Jeon Park, Sohee and Kwon, and others.
